ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of playing a game of chance and entertainment, which incorporates an element of risk by rewarding a player for corresponding master and score value designations. One embodiment of the method of the present invention is played by at least one player. This embodiment is played with one master die and a plurality of scoring dice. The master die has a plurality of master sides, each master side bearing a master value designation thereon. Each scoring die has a plurality of scoring sides, with each scoring side of each scoring die bearing a score value designation corresponding to one of the master value designations. In a turn, the player shakes the master die and the plurality of scoring dice to obtain an upwardly facing master side and a plurality of upwardly facing scoring sides. The player's shake score is then calculated based on the number of upwardly facing scoring sides with score value designations which correspond to the master value designation on the upwardly facing master side.
