# The Yacht Dice Game Cooperative Version

Most games tend to be competetive. Here's a version of the Yacht Dice Game that is both competetive and cooperative.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## The rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. You need two sets of five (alternately, six) six-sided dice, preferably different colors.
|
||
|
|
1. You play with the person to your right. The person whose turn it is is the primary player, and the person to their left is the secondary player.
|
||
|
|
1. The person who gets the first roll (Player A) rolls their dice, and the person to their left (Player B) rolls their dice.
|
||
|
|
1. If playing with six dice (useful for younger players), each player picks one die to discard.
|
||
|
|
1. Player A and Player B work cooperatively to each build the best possible set of dice for their needs. They can do this one of two ways:
|
||
|
|
1. **Nebraska Rules:** Players can trade dice on a one-to-one basis.
|
||
|
|
1. **Missouri Rules:** Players put all the dice in a pile and cooperatively build their two hands.
|
||
|
|
1. Player A gets the full score for their hand, and half Player B's score.
|
||
|
|
1. Player B get the full score for their hand.
|
||
|
|
1. Play then moves to Player B, who will work with Player C to build two good hands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Except for the first and last plays of the game, everyone will get three scores in quick succession:
|
||
|
|
** The full score for your hand when you are the secondary player.
|
||
|
|
** Half the score of the person to your left when you are the primary player, plus the full score for your own hand.
|
||
|
|
* This does work best when you have at least four people. Six are preferable.
