There are many variations of this game, the most common being a full class version in which the teacher rolls the die, and calls out the numbers. All students play using the same numbers and their score depends on when they elect to ‘save’ their score. If they save their score any further rolls that turn do not count towards their score. If a 1 is rolled all players who have not saved their score get 0 for that turn and the next turn starts.
