General

A player rolls the dice to begin a turn. They are then allowed to reroll dice, with each reroll being any number of those dice. (In BGA, you click on the dice that you want to reroll.)

After those rerolls, or when the player chooses to stop rolling, the player must choose which category to score the final result. There are limited scoring categories, and each must be used for one of the rounds. This can often force a player to take a zero score for some categories.
