Fishfry

A fishing dice game using 5 custom engraved dice. Players have three rolls to catch a fish by rolling a head, a tail (worth 10 points together), and various sized bodies that add to the score of the fish. The goal is to catch and score the largest fish possible. Players have to choose which dice to keep and which dice to re-roll on their second and third rolls. One side of the dice contains a small panfish, which is worth only one point, and cannot be re-rolled. However, if a player manages to roll all 5 panfish, the player proclaims a FISHFRY! and the other players have to "FRY-UP" their fish. Players often have the choice to push their luck, and try for larger fish.
The game plays well as a quick pass-time or as a gambling game with a little more strategy than other simple gambling dice games. Included are rules for one-round games, as well as multiple round fishing tournaments.
