    \nA. \u2018Getting On The Board\u2019 or To get a first score:<\/strong>
    \nMake it a requirement that in order to get a first score, a player must Roll the dice at least 3 times and get at least 350 points before they can stop.
    \nB. Allow for a \u201cStraight\u201d to count as 200 points- BUT it also counts as a ROLLOUT.<\/strong>
    \nA \u201cStraight\u201d is defined as 1 of each face. For example: You keep a 100 from your first ROLL. Then you ROLL 5 dice and you keep a 50 from the second ROLL. On your third ROLL you get Jack, Queen, King and Ace. Instead of being scored as no points and a BURN, this would be a \u201cStraight,\u201d 1 of each face and all dice would be worth points, qualifying as a ROLLOUT. You can then pick up all 6 dice (risking 200 points) and ROLL again.<\/span><\/li>\n
