Crab Dice Game
Don't let the hard, crusty shell fool you: inside lives a clever and caring crab.
Crab tokens You and your teammate share Crab Tokens (points), and add them all together at the end of the game. When your team must give another team a Crab Token, either teammate can give up the Crab Token. If no one on your team has any Crab Tokens and you owe one to another team, take a Crab Token from the Crab Pot and use it to pay your debt. A player gets five rolls of the dice to score as many crab points as possible. Crab points are accumilated by rolling a 3, 4, crab, 2 and 5 in that order out of 5 rolls setting aside each one aquired. At the end of the hand, if all 5 are completed, the player gets two crab points.
Object of Game:
To have the most crab points after each player has had three turns.
