Don't Roll a One!

---

Find a friend!  The objective is to be the first player to reach 100 points. Players take turns rolling a single 6-sided die. On a turn, you can roll as many times as you like, adding the rolled number to your turn total each time. However, if you roll a 1, your turn ends, and you score 0 points for that turn. You can choose to "hold" at any time, adding your turn total to your overall score and passing the die to the next player. The first player to reach 100 points wins the game.

• Decide on a strategy for when to hold and when to keep rolling. A common tactic is to hold once you’ve accumulated 20 points in a turn, minimizing the risk of rolling a 1.
• Pay attention to your opponent’s score and playing style. 
• In the early stages of the game, play conservatively to build a steady lead. Holding after fewer rolls reduces the risk of losing your accumulated points.
• If you’re behind in points, you might need to take more risks by rolling the die more times in a turn to catch up. Conversely, if you have a comfortable lead, play it safe.
• Understand the probabilities. There is a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a 1 on each die roll. Use this knowledge to gauge your risk when deciding whether to roll again or hold.
• Be patient and wait for the right moments to take risks. Avoid getting greedy with rolls, as this often leads to losing accumulated points.
