How combinations score
Most combinations score the dice that make them plus a fixed bonus, so a Poker of four 6s is 4 × 6 + 40 = 64. The straight is the exception. It's worth 66 / 56 / 46 points, depending on the roll you get it on. Max and Min don't score on their own. The gap between them is multiplied by your Ones.
Choose carefully where you bank your score
Any combination can go in any column, but many columns are locked by special rules, preventing you from scoring when you need to. Plan out where you'll bank good scores.
