5 Dice as a puzzle
In this section the differences between puzzle and normal game are explained. If you do not know how to play the game, please check the explanaition above first.
Puzzles are played without opponents. That is all the difference. Play a game on your own and try to get the highest score possible!
Puzzles have a timer! In the upper middle of the screen is displayed how much time is left. If you run out of time, your current score is counted.
Every retry is a new chance, because all dice roll always random numbers.
Enjoy the puzzle!
