Description

CookieDice is a strategic dice game where every roll counts and cookies are your power-up. 

Bet your limited cookies on scoring categories before rolling—hit big and multiply your score, miss and lose them! 

Each level brings new categories, higher targets, and tougher challenges. 

Use smart bets, chase bonuses, and roll your way to the next level.

How to Play

Categories

• Each level has 6 scoring categories (they change every level).
• You can score each category once per level.

Cookies (Your Bet Multiplier)

You start every level with 3 cookies.
Before you roll, you may bet cookies on one category.
If you later assign your roll to that category, your score is multiplied by the cookies you bet.
At the end of the turn, the cookies that not in the selected category will be lost.

Total for a scored category
Final = BaseScore + (BaseScore × CookiesBet)
(If you bet 0 cookies, Final = BaseScore.)

Example — “2 of a Kind”
Roll: 2, 2, 3, 5, 6 → BaseScore = 2+2 = 4
Bet 2 cookies on “2 of a Kind” → Final = 4 + (4×2) = 12

Rolls & Scoring
1. Bet cookies on a category (optional but recommended).
2. Roll the dice.
3. Choose a category to assign your score for this turn. Your bet (if any) on that category multiplies your BaseScore.

Tip: Cookies amplify good rolls—save them for categories you’re likely to hit.

Bonuses
1. Achieve score thresholds in a level to earn bonus cookies:

• Tier 1: +1 cookie
• Tier 2: +2 cookies
• Tier 3: +5 cookies

2. Five of a Kind: instant bonus +5 cookies.

Level Progression

• Meet or exceed the level’s target score to unlock the next level.
• Categories change each level, and targets rise—use cookies wisely.

Notes

• You can only bet before rolling.
• Bets apply only if you score that exact category.
• Unused categories score 0 at the end of the level.

Quick Tips

• Bet bigger when you’re chasing a high-value category.
• Use early rolls to build bonuses and stock cookies.
• Don’t forget the Five of a Kind bonus: +5 cookies can swing a level.
