- Greedy is a game of dice. You play against the computer during each game,
- however, you are also competing in tournament-style play against other human
- players by trying to beat the computer by the most points as many times as
- possible. Look out, though, you may find the computer hard to beat!
-
- Object:
- The object of each game of Greedy is to beat the computer to a score of
- 10,000 or more points. The more points over 10,000 you score, the more
- points you are awarded in the tournament against other players.
-
- Order of Play:
- 1. Roll all nine dice. (The first roll of each turn is done for you.)
- 2. Select the dice with points that you want to keep. Points values are
- listed below. You do not have to keep all dice with points, but you
- must keep at least a "1", a "5" or a "set" of three.
- 3. Now you may either hit the <E> key to end your turn, or hit the <Enter>
- key to re-roll the dice that you didn't select. If you <E>nd your turn
- with 10,000 or more points, you win!
- 4. If you re-rolled, go to step 2 above.
-
- On each roll, some or all of the dice MUST contain points, otherwise the
- player FORFEITS all points from the round and automatically passes the dice.

- Die Value Number of Dice Points
- 5 ............ 1 ......... 50
- 1 ............ 1 ......... 100
- 2 ............ 3 ......... 200 ─┐
- Points Values: 3 ............ 3 ......... 300 │
- 4 ............ 3 ......... 400 ├─ Sets
- 5 ............ 3 ......... 500 │
- 6 ............ 3 ......... 600 │
- 1 ............ 3 ........ 1000 ─┘
-
- Sets must be rolled at the same time. For example, if you choose a "6"
- from a roll, it may not be added to a couple of sixes from any subsequent
- roll to make 600 points. This is mentioned only to avoid confusion, since
- scoring is performed automatically by the computer.
-
- If a player manages to get points on all nine dice, whether they are
- rolled at the same time or in seperate rolls, that player is given the option
- of either keeping those points and passing the dice, or re-rolling all nine
- dice again for another BONUS round. If the player chooses to go for the bonus
- round, all points from the round are still at risk, so don't be greedy!
-
- Play continues until either you or the computer <E>nds a turn with at
- least 10,000 points. It is important to hit the <E> key at this point to make
- your score permanent. If you hit the <Enter> key, you will re-roll the dice,
- and risk losing the round score, and possibly the game!
-
- Scoring:
- Winner gets 5,000 points, plus 10 times the number of points above 10,000.
- Loser forfeits 1,000 plus 5 times what the computer scored above 10,000.
-
- Keys used in the game:
- <1-4><6-9> - Cursor movement for numeric key-pad. Have your Num-Lock on!
- <5> - Select/De-Select toggle. The <Space> bar can also be used.
- <A>ll - Selects all remaining dice.
- <Enter> - Rolls the remaining, un-selected dice.
- <E>nd Turn - Passes the dice to the computer. All points are kept.
- <H>elp - Shows the instructional screens.
- <R>edraw - Use in case of too much line-noise and on-screen garbage.
- <Q>uit - Quits (and forfeits) the game. Game cannot be made up later.
-
- The "Sum" box at the bottom shows your running total, i.e., the sum of the
- points rolled in that round plus the points earned from previous turns.

- Have fun, but don't be too G R E E D Y !
