Samsonite's edition of <u>AMOEBA</u> (for $1.99).  <br>
Looked at <u>SCARNE DICE</u>. See 7/23/69 and the following are  <br>
additions and revisions (but still not complete by any means).  <br>
When playing for chips a throw of 5 of a kind - including  <br>
"dead" - wins the pot (which ordinarily goes to the high  <br>
score at the end of 7 frames). When playing without  <br>
chips it scores 100 points. With 4 of a kind the 40 points are  <br>
won if the dice are number, 4 "dead" scores 25 points.  <br>
None of the other combinations allow the use of "dead".  <br>
The point score is the sum of the numbers in a live throw.  <br>
I believe that a player may rethrown all or part of a live throw  <br>
to try for more points, but risks getting a "dead".  <br>
A variation scores for multiples of 5 only. Players in turn  <br>
throw five dice, then can throw up to 4 [illegible crossed out] live dice,  <br>
then up to 3 live dice etc. When all live dice add up to a  <br>
multiple of 5, score 1 point for each 5. 15 points wins.
