Dice Royal

Description

Age rating: 13+

Dice Royal is a turn-based dice duel on a shared board. You and the AI each get three dice per round and take turns placing them, one at a time, on the same grid. Every row and column scores the sum of your dice — and dice of the same color sitting side by side form combos: pairs, three of a kind, straights, full houses, all the way up to the Royal straight (1-2-3-4-5-6) for +150.

The board is shared, so every move is also a block: drop a die into the middle of the AI’s chain to break its combo, or build yours where it can’t reach.

• Four AI levels: Easy, Normal, Hard and Master
• Live scoring: every placement updates the totals and flashes the combo it makes
• Undo your last move
• Short matches, no timers, play with mouse or touch

How to Play

Controls

• Mouse: drag a die from your reserve (left side) onto an empty cell.
• Touch: same, drag with your finger.
• Keyboard: Esc pauses the game.
• Buttons: UNDO takes back your last move, RESET starts a new match, OPTIONS sets the AI level, ? shows the rules.

Goal
Fill the grid together with the AI and finish with more points than your opponent.

How a match works

• Each round you get 3 dice and the AI gets 3. You alternate one die at a time: you place one, then the AI places one.
• When both reserves are empty a new round starts.
• The match ends when the grid is full: the higher score wins.

Scoring

• Base score: the sum of your dice in every row and every column.
• Combo bonus: your dice that sit directly next to each other in the same row or column. 5,5 is a Pair; 5,3,5 is not (the two 5s aren’t touching).
  Pair +5 · Two pair +12 · Three of a kind +15 · Straight (1-5 or 2-6) +25 · Full house +35 · Four of a kind +50 · Five of a kind +80 · Six of a kind +130 · Royal straight (1-2-3-4-5-6) +150.
• An empty cell or an opponent’s die breaks the chain.

Tips

• Block the AI: place your dice in the middle of its chains.
• Keep matching values next to each other — upgrading a Pair to Three of a kind only adds the difference, so plan longer runs.
• Use UNDO to try a different spot.
