YLMODNAR: Fixed a typo.

Tips below are provided by the game's designer.

==Overall strategy==

Mastering the game requires extensive practice. After 50–100 games, you might still be a beginner, that's normal. You need to play it a lot before you can even ''begin'' to think about strategy. But below are some tips that might help you get there faster.

====For beginners====
Concentrate on getting the middle bonus (scores '''6''' to '''15''') and sacrifice the scores '''1''' to '''5''' if necessary. Also, do not try to get '''19''' or '''20''', since you need to be able to cross out ''a lot'' of scores as the game approaches the end. If you get the scores '''6''' to '''15''', you'll have 155 points (including bonus). That's a good starting point.

====For experienced players====
You should always be able to get the middle bonus (otherwise, you're still a beginner).

If your opponents are beginners, it's unlikely that they will get the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5'''), so you can sacrifice the lowest scores if necessary. Instead, secure the scores '''16''', '''17''' and '''18''' (that's 51 points right there). That will land you above 200 points quite easily, which should be enough to win against the beginners.

If your opponents are experienced players, focus on the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5''') at the beginning of the game. When that is secured, concentrate on the scores '''16''', '''17''' and '''18''' for a while. But don't forget to secure the middle bonus along the way.

====For masters====
If your opponents are less skilled than yourself, you should focus on the small scores '''1''' and '''2''' in the beginning of the game, in parallel with trying to get both '''16''', '''17''' and '''18'''. Scores '''19''' and '''20''' will probably be crossed out, maybe '''17''' as well.

If your opponents are in the same league as yourself, you need to try to go for either '''19''' or '''20''' in the beginning of the game. At the same time, you need to secure the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5'''). Let each roll decide which "end" of the table you're working on. Always use your second reroll in a very thoughtful way, so you not accidentally are forced to cross out more than necessary.

==Rerolling tips==

There are ''a lot'' of different ways to achieve the results '''7''' to '''13''', while the lower and higher scores might be more tricky. Below are some help.

====How to get the ''highest'' scores====

To get '''20''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]. This is the only way to get '''20'''.

To get '''19''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]. This is the only way to get '''19'''.

The easiest way to get '''18''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''twos''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]].

The easiest way to get '''17''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''threes''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]].

The easiest way to get '''16''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''fours'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]]'s (''twos'' and ''threes''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]].

The easiest way to get '''15''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'', ''twos'' and ''threes''). Another way is to roll only [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''fives'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]]'s (''twos'' and ''fours''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]].

The easiest way to get '''14''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'', ''twos'' and ''fours''). Three other ways are to roll only [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''sixes'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]]'s (''twos'' and ''fives'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]]'s (''threes'' and ''fours'').

====How to get the ''lowest'' scores====

To get '''1''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]]. This is the only way to get '''1''' (the chance of rolling '''1''' is still 120 times greater than the chance of rolling '''20''').

To get '''2''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]]. This is the only way to get '''2'''.

The easiest way to get '''3''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''twos'').

The easiest way to get '''4''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''threes).''

The easiest way to get '''5''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]]'s (''ones'' and ''fours'') '''OR''' to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]]'s (''twos'' and ''threes'').

The easiest way to get '''6''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]]'s (''fours'', ''fives'' and ''sixes'').

YLMODNAR: Adjusted inline images.

==Overview==

The ''structure'' of the game resembles that of ''Yahtzee'' (and variants). Players take turns trying to achieve the scores in the table ('''1''' to '''20'''). Maximum 2 rerolls per turn.

A result can be scored if it has not previously been scored by the player. If the player fails (after three rolls), a score must be crossed out.

The game ends after 20 rounds.

==Inverted dice sums==

The result of a roll is the sum of the values that '''''are not seen''''' in the roll. However, there are ''two'' ways to find the result of a roll, since it can also be calculated as '''21''' ''minus'' all ''unique values'' that '''''are seen''''' in the roll.

==Examples==
'''Method 1:''' Summing up values that are '''''not shown''''':

[[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png|bottom]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png|bottom]] is '''5''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] is '''5''' (neither [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png|bottom]] nor [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png|bottom]] is shown).

==Turn==

First, all five dice are rolled.

Then, the player has up to two rerolls to obtain a desired result (not previously scored by the player). Click dice to select them, and button to reroll.

If the result after three rolls is ''not'' available in the score table, the player scores 0 points that round and must choose a score to ''cross out''.

==Scoring==

At the end of the twentieth round, sum up all the scores you managed to achieve.

In addition, there are bonus awards: 
If you have all scores from '''1''' to '''5''', you get 50 points. 
If you have all scores from '''6''' to '''15''', you get 50 points. 
If you have all scores from '''16''' to '''20''', you get 50 points.

If your total score is 290 or higher, you earn the ''Inverted Master'' achievement. 
If your total score is 360, you earn the ''Inverted Grandmaster'' achievement.

The player with the most points wins!

YLMODNAR: Format fix.

==Overview==

The ''structure'' of the game resembles that of ''Yahtzee'' (and variants). Players take turns trying to achieve the scores in the table ('''1''' to '''20'''). Maximum 2 rerolls per turn.

A result can be scored if it has not previously been scored by the player. If the player fails (after three rolls), a score must be crossed out.

The game ends after 20 rounds.

==Inverted dice sums==

The result of a roll is the sum of the values that '''''are not seen''''' in the roll. However, there are ''two'' ways to find the result of a roll, since it can also be calculated as '''21''' ''minus'' all ''unique values'' that '''''are seen''''' in the roll.

==Examples==
'''Method 1:''' Summing up values that are '''''not shown''''':

[[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is '''5''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] is '''5''' (neither [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] nor [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] is shown).

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is also '''5''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''5'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is '''6''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''6'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''15''' since 4 '''+''' 5 '''+''' 6 is '''15'''.

'''Method 2:''' 21 ''minus'' each unique '''''shown''''' value:

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''15''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is 6 (only count each shown value ''once''), and 21 – 6 is '''15'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is '''18''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is 3, and 21 – 3 is '''18'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is also '''18''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is 3, and 21 – 3 is '''18'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is '''10''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is 11, and 21 – 11 is '''10'''.

YLMODNAR: /* Overall strategy */

Tips below are provided by the game's designer.

==Overall strategy==

Mastering the game requires extensive practice. After 50–100 games, you might still be a beginner, that's normal. You need to play it a lot before you can even ''begin'' to think about strategy. But below are some tips that might help you get there faster.

====For beginners====
Concentrate on getting the middle bonus (scores '''6''' to '''15''') and sacrifice the scores '''1''' to '''5''' if necessary. Also, do not try to get '''19''' or '''20''', since you need to be able to cross out ''a lot'' of scores as the game approaches the end. If you get the scores '''6''' to '''15''', you'll have 155 points (including bonus). That's a good starting point.

====For experienced players====
You should always be able to get the middle bonus (otherwise, you're still a beginner).

If your opponents are beginners, it's unlikely that they will get the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5'''), so you can sacrifice the lowest scores if necessary. Instead, secure the scores '''16''', '''17''' and '''18''' (that's 51 points right there). That will land you above 200 points quite easily, which should be enough to win against the beginners.

If your opponents are experienced players, focus on the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5''') at the beginning of the game. When that is secured, concentrate on the scores '''16''', '''17''' and '''18''' for a while. But don't forget to secure the middle bonus along the way.

====For masters====
If your opponents are less skilled than yourself, you should focus on the small scores '''1''' and '''2''' in the beginning of the game, in parallel with trying to get both '''16''', '''17''' and '''18'''. Scores '''19''' and '''20''' will probably be crossed out, maybe '''17''' as well.

If your opponents are in the same league as yourself, you need to try to go for either '''19''' or '''20''' in the beginning of the game. At the same time, you need to secure the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5'''). Let each roll decide which "end" of the table you're working on. Always use your second reroll in a very thoughtful way, so you not accidentally are forced to cross out more than necessary.

==Rerolling tips==

There are ''a lot'' of different ways to achieve the results '''7''' to '''13''', while the lower and higher scores might be more tricky. Below are some help.

====How to get the ''highest'' scores====

To get '''20''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]. This is the only way to get '''20'''.

To get '''19''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]. This is the only way to get '''19'''.

The easiest way to get '''18''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''twos''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]].

The easiest way to get '''17''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''threes''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]].

The easiest way to get '''16''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''fours'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''threes''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]].

The easiest way to get '''15''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''ones'', ''twos'' and ''threes''). Another way is to roll only [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''fives'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''fours''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]].

The easiest way to get '''14''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''ones'', ''twos'' and ''fours''). Three other ways are to roll only [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''sixes'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''fives'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''threes'' and ''fours'').

====How to get the ''lowest'' scores====

To get '''1''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]. This is the only way to get '''1''' (the chance of rolling '''1''' is still 120 times greater than the chance of rolling '''20''').

To get '''2''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]. This is the only way to get '''2'''.

The easiest way to get '''3''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''twos'').

The easiest way to get '''4''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''threes').''

The easiest way to get '''5''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''fours'') '''OR''' to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''threes'').

The easiest way to get '''6''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]'s (''fours'', ''fives'' and ''sixes'').

YLMODNAR: /* Turn */ Added a missing word.

==Overview==

The ''structure'' of the game resembles that of ''Yahtzee'' (and variants). Players take turns trying to achieve the scores in the table ('''1''' to '''20'''). Maximum 2 rerolls per turn.

A result can be scored if it has not previously been scored by the player. If the player fails (after three rolls), a score must be crossed out.

The game ends after 20 rounds.

==Inverted dice sums==

The result of a roll is the sum of the values that '''''are not seen''''' in the roll. However, there are ''two'' ways to find the result of a roll, since it can also be calculated as '''21''' ''minus'' each ''unique value'' that '''''are seen''''' in the roll.

==Examples==
'''Method 1:''' Summing up values that are '''''not shown''''':

[[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is '''5''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] is '''5''' (neither [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] nor [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] is shown).

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is also '''5''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''5'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is '''6''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''6'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''15''' since 4 '''+''' 5 '''+''' 6 is '''15'''.

'''Method 2:''' 21 ''minus'' each unique '''''shown''''' value:

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is '''15''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] is 6 (only count each shown value ''once''), and 21 – 6 is '''15'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is '''18''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is 3, and 21 – 3 is '''18'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is also '''18''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] is 3, and 21 – 3 is '''18'''.

[[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is '''10''' since [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] '''+''' [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] is 11, and 21 – 11 is '''10'''.

==Turn==

First, all five dice are rolled.

Then, the player has up to two rerolls to obtain a desired result (not previously scored by the player). Click dice to select them, and button to reroll.

If the result after three rolls is ''not'' available in the score table, the player scores 0 points that round and must choose a score to ''cross out''.

==Scoring==

At the end of the twentieth round, sum up all the scores you managed to achieve.

In addition, there are bonus awards: 
If you have all scores from '''1''' to '''5''', you get 50 points. 
If you have all scores from '''6''' to '''15''', you get 50 points. 
If you have all scores from '''16''' to '''20''', you get 50 points.

If your total score is 290 or higher, you earn the ''Inverted Master'' achievement. 
If your total score is 360, you earn the ''Inverted Grandmaster'' achievement.

The player with the most points wins!

YLMODNAR: Fixed a typo.

Tips below are provided by the game's designer.

==Overall strategy==

Mastering the game requires extensive practice. After 50–100 games, you might still be a beginner, that's normal. You need to play it a lot before you can even ''begin'' to think about strategy. But below are some tips that might help you get there faster.

====For beginners====

Concentrate on getting the middle bonus (scores '''6''' to '''15''') and sacrifice the scores '''1''' to '''5''' if necessary. Also, do not try to get '''19''' or '''20''', since you need to be able to cross out ''a lot'' of scores as the game approaches the end. If you get the scores '''6''' to '''15''', you'll have 155 points (including bonus). That's a good starting point.

====For experienced players====

You should always be able to get the middle bonus (otherwise, you're still a beginner).

If your opponents are beginners, it's unlikely that they will get the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5'''), so you can sacrifice the lowest scores if necessary. Instead, secure the scores '''16''', '''17''' and '''18''' (that's 51 points right there). That will land you above 200 points quite easily, which should be enough to win against the beginners.

If your opponents are experienced players, focus on the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5''') at the beginning of the game. When that is secured, concentrate on the scores '''16''', '''17''' and '''18''' for a while. But don't forget to secure the middle bonus along the way.

====For masters====

If your opponents are less skilled than yourself, you should focus on the small scores '''1''' and '''2''' in the beginning of the game, in parallel with trying to get both '''16''', '''17''' and '''18'''. Scores '''19''' and '''20''' will probably be crossed out, maybe '''17''' as well.

If your opponents are in the same league as yourself, you need to try to go for either '''19''' or '''20''' in the beginning of the game. At the same time, you need to secure the first bonus (scores '''1''' to '''5'''). Let each roll decide which "end" of the table you're working on. Always use your second reroll in a very thoughtful way, so you don't accidentally is forced to cross out more than necessary.

==Rerolling tips==

There are ''a lot'' of different ways to achieve the results '''7''' to '''13''', while the lower and higher scores might be more tricky. Below are some help.

====How to get the ''highest'' scores====

To get '''20''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]. This is the only way to get '''20'''.

To get '''19''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]. This is the only way to get '''19'''.

The easiest way to get '''18''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''twos''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]].

The easiest way to get '''17''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''threes''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]].

The easiest way to get '''16''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''fours'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''threes''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]].

The easiest way to get '''15''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''ones'', ''twos'' and ''threes''). Another way is to roll only [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''fives'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''fours''). A much harder way is to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]].

The easiest way to get '''14''' is to roll ''only'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s, [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''ones'', ''twos'' and ''fours''). Three other ways are to roll only [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''sixes'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]]'s (''twos'' and ''fives'') '''OR''' only [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]]'s (''threes'' and ''fours'').

====How to get the ''lowest'' scores====

To get '''1''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]. This is the only way to get '''1''' (the chance of rolling '''1''' is still 120 times greater than the chance of rolling '''20''').

To get '''2''', you need to roll [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie4.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie5.png]] [[File:ExtraSmallDie6.png]]. This is the only way to get '''2'''.

The easiest way to get '''3''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie2.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''twos'').

The easiest way to get '''4''' is to roll all dice values ''except'' [[File:ExtraSmallDie1.png]]'s and [[File:ExtraSmallDie3.png]]'s (''ones'' and ''threes').''
