five dice are used in that game

the object is to roll a hand of Five-of-a-kind. all other hands are meaningless. Aces (1) are wild and can be matched to any other value. a player who throws Five Aces wins the game immediatly

order of play is determined by each player rolling a single die with the highest rolling first and then with subsequent play passing to the left

in each turn, players have up to three rolls, setting aside any dice they want for their final hand

in each roll player can use any of die including the ones which were set aside in previous rolls

only the winner of a round scores any points and must have Five-of-a-kind

a player who throws five Kings (Carabinas, 66666 - with or without Aces), wins the round and rolls first in the next round or game

if no player has scored with five Kings, then the last player to throw the dice, rolls first in the next round

a number of rounds are played and the winner of a game is the first to score a total of 10 points (patas)
