How to Play Flying Lanterns Dice Game
The object of the game is to fly your lantern as high as you can each night.
Roll 3 dice with 8 sides. The sum is how many yards high your lantern flew.
Now you MAY roll again. IF your roll result is MORE than or EQUAL to your previous roll, add them together. However, if your result is LESS than your previous roll, your lantern burns up and you score only 1 yard total.
You may keep rolling as long as you roll results are more than your previous roll. When you are done for the day, please quote me with your final score.
If you decide to start over, you may, but your last score of the day (I am on EST) is the only score you will get for that day.
Examples:
Cautious Cam rolls 3d8 and gets 3, 6, 7 for a sum of 16. He stops and scores 16 yards
Daring Darla rolls 3d8 and gets 5, 3, 6 for a sum of 14. Feeling bold, she rolls 3d8 again and gets 5, 8, 2 for a sum of 15. She could try again but decides to score the 14 + 15 = 29 yards.
Poor Paul rolls 3d8 and gets 1, 2, 6 for a sum of 9. He rolls 3d8 again, but this time rolls 2, 3, 1 for a sum of 6, which is LESS than his previous roll. He must stop and scores only 1 yard.
