If, after three rolls, a player has put aside the ship, captain, and mate, the remaining two dice (the crew) are totaled for the player's score.If a player fails to roll the 6, 5, or 4 after their three throws, they score nothing.The remaining dice are thrown again, including the 4. If the first throw contains a 6 and 4, but not a 5, only the 6 is put aside. The ship, captain, and mate must be rolled in order.
Each has three throws of the dice and tries to roll and put to one side a 6 (the ship), a 5 (the captain), and 4 (the mate).It's played for a pot, but is also often is played for drinks. Five dice are used in Battleship, Captain, Mate, and Crew.
