As the name of the game suggests, in 5 Roll, the player needs to roll five dices, after which they need to decide which dice they want to keep and which the players want to re-roll. While playing 5 Roll, it is important to fill the scorecard strategically to maximize the score after each roll.

It is a game of both luck and skills.

Each category can be filled with 1x, 2x and 3x score multiplier, and hence, it needs to be decided logically.
