The Beattie: /* When to Stop */

For the rules of martian dice, see [[Gamehelpmartiandice|GameHelpMartianDice]]

== Main Strategy ==

* The rule of thumb of Martian Dice is to get the most without pushing too far.
* It can be getting many of a kind, or aim for 3 types and that 3 extra points.
** But in my opinion, the latter is better.
* This is because getting lots of a kind is not common, and you may already have 1 or 2 of that kind because you must set aside something if you can.
* If you aim for 3 types, you need at least 3 dice, which is easier.

== First Roll ==

* If there are 4-7 death rays, set them aside.
* If not then set aside the smallest samples.

== Second Roll and Onward ==

* If you don't have enough death rays, set some aside.
* If not then set aside the smallest uncollected samples.

== When to Stop ==

* Stop when:
** You get at least 5 points
** You collect all 3 types of samples
* If the death rays are enough to defeat the tanks-who knows what will be next?

== Conclusion ==

* Be cautious, or you will get nothing.
* Just aim for 3 types and score high.

== Probability Analysis and Trainer ==

* If you're interested in how to calculate the most advantageous path through the rolls, you may be interested in this probability analysis.
* The article also contains a link to a Martian Dice trainer that the author created.
