SCORING: At the end of the turn, the player scores points for the
Phase the player is working on, only if the player makes that Phase.
The score is the total of all the dice used to make that Phase. Dice
not needed for the Phase are not scored. Also any Wilds (W’s) used
in the Phase score zero points each. For example, the player is in
Phase 1 and ends up with 8, 8, 8 and 10, W, W. The player’s score is
8+8+8+10, or 34. The player enters 34 in the space for “2 sets of 3.”
STRATEGY HINT: If a player completes a Phase in one or two rolls, the
player may want to keep rolling the rest of the turn, to try to replace
any Wilds (W’s) in the Phase with natural numbers, since natural
numbers score their value instead of zero.
Note that as each Phase is completed, the score is totaled, so that
the player always knows his/her total score in the game, as of that
particular Phase.
FIVE PHASE BONUS: After Phase 5, the game is half over. If the
player’s total at this point is over 220 (221 or more), then the player
is awarded a bonus of 40 points, which is then added to the score.
FIRST FINISH BONUS: The first player to finish the game gets to add
40 points to his/her score. Other players may qualify for this 40 point
bonus too, but only if they are already in Phase 10, successfully
complete this Phase, and also did not start the game ahead of the
Player who was first to finish Phase 10.
ENDING THE GAME: The first player to complete Phase 10 causes
the end of normal game play. At this point, each of the remaining
players gets one last try at completing all their remaining Phases.
For example, player B has just completed Phase 10, while player A is
still on Phase 7. Now, player A gets a normal turn of three rolls to
complete Phase 7. If unsuccessful, player A is finished, and player A’s
current total score becomes player A’s final score. If successful,
