Rule highlights
Setup, play, winning, and house rules
Setup
- Two to eight players. Playing alone, you face the computer.
- Everyone starts with 1,000 points. For each hand, 10, 20, 50 or 100 points can be put in.
- By default the first dealer is decided by everyone rolling one die; the highest goes first (seat order is also available).
How to play
- At the start of a hand, players choose to put in 10, 20, 50 or 100 points (you can change it until everyone has chosen).
- Players roll three dice in order from the fewest points put in (ties from the seat after the dealer), and the dealer rolls last. A single roll can settle it (Pinzoro, Arashi, Shigoro, a point — a matching pair plus a third die whose number is the point, so 2-2-4 is Point 4 — or Hifumi); otherwise the same roller tries again, up to three throws. Three throws with nothing matching is No Point.
- After the dealer rolls, the dealer's hand is compared with each player's. The stronger hand takes the points put in times the winning hand's multiplier times the losing hand's (Pinzoro 5x, Arashi 3x, Shigoro 2x, a point 1x; Hifumi pays 2x). An equal strength goes to the dealer, and Out of the bowl (a setting) always loses.
- With the Play style setting on Common rules, the dealer rolls first. Pinzoro, Arashi, Shigoro or a lone 6 wins for the dealer and a lone 1, No Point, Out of the bowl or Hifumi loses for the dealer right away, with no player rolls; only a lone 2–5 sends players in one at a time from the seat after the dealer. The multiplier is the larger of the two hands', and an equal strength is a push.
Winning
- By default the dealer role moves to the next seat every hand. Under the common rules, a hand that loses for the dealer (a lone 1, No Point, Out of the bowl, or Hifumi) passes the role on; otherwise the dealer stays (and may step down at the start of the next hand, before players put in points).
- Once the dealer has gone around the table once by default (two or three times by setting), the player with the most points wins. The game also ends early if anyone's points reach zero.
- A player who cannot pay in full pays what they can. Resigning is also available.
House rules
| Name | Description | Default | Changeable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pinzoro multiplierPinzoro multiplierPinzoro is three 1s, the strongest hand. When it wins, the points put in are multiplied by this number. A higher multiplier makes big comebacks more likely. | The multiplier paid when Pinzoro (three 1s) wins. | 5x | Can be changed |
| Hifumi payoutHifumi payoutHifumi (1-2-3) is the weakest hand. This is the multiplier paid by whoever loses with Hifumi, dealer or player alike. At 2x, rolling Hifumi hurts more; at 1x it costs the same as an ordinary loss. | The multiplier paid by whoever loses with Hifumi (1-2-3), dealer or player alike. | 2x | Can be changed |
| Out of the bowlOut of the bowlShonben means a die bounces out of the bowl. When on, it happens on 1 throw in 36; there is no re-roll and the thrower loses on the spot (if the dealer does it, the players win; if both the dealer and a player do it, the player loses). Turn it on for more swings of luck. | When on, each throw has a 1-in-36 chance a die lands outside the bowl, and the thrower loses on the spot. Its payout multiplier is 1x; in streamer rules it is multiplied by the winning hand's multiplier. Also called shonben in the hand list. | Off | Can be changed |
| First dealer | How the first dealer is chosen. | Everyone rolls one die; highest goes first | Can be changed |
| Play stylePlay styleIn streamer rules everyone rolls before being compared with the dealer, so every player takes part in every hand, and multipliers are multiplied together for bigger swings. The dealer role moves every hand, so its advantage goes around evenly. Common rules are the traditional form: the dealer's roll alone often settles the hand, and the dealer keeps the role until rolling a losing hand. | Streamer rules: players roll from the fewest points put in and the dealer rolls last; a tie goes to the dealer, Out of the bowl always loses, multipliers are multiplied together, and the dealer role moves every hand. Common rules: the dealer rolls first and players roll only when the dealer's hand does not decide it; a tie is a push, the larger multiplier applies, and the dealer keeps the role until rolling a losing hand (and may step down at the start of a hand). | Streamer rules | Can be changed |
| Game length | How many times the dealer role goes around the table before the game ends. | Once around | Can be changed |
