  • Rules for the dice game Ship, Captain and Crew.


  • From the Game Cabinet: Ship, Captain and Crew is a bar game played for drinks with a dice cup and five dice provide by the bar. According to a copy of THE WORLD'S GREATEST DICE GAMES by Gil Jacobs, there are two versions of the game. ?In one version, the 1-2-3 are the ship, captain and crew; in the second version the 6-5-4 are the ship, captain and crew.? ?In the simple 6-5-4 version you must first have the ship (6) before you have the captain (5); likewise, you must first have the captain before you have the crew (4). This can be very frustrating when you fail to roll a six, and have a score of zero.? ?As you shoot each one of these points in order, you can pull that die out of the cup and set it aside. Alternatively, you can elective to put as many of the dice in the cup and try again (this is stupid, since it does not improve you odds, but it is legal).? ?Each player gets at least one and no more than three flops (toss of the dice cup) in the two player game. The score is the total of the two dice left over after the Ship, Captain and Crew have been completed. A 2 is the lowest score and is called a "minimum" while 12 is the highest score and is called a midnight." ?The highest score wins. If there is a tie in a two player game, they just play another hand and buy their own drinks.? ?If there is a tie in a multi-player game, then the (n) players who tied for high score play shoot two dice again for highest score. This process continues until you have a winner.? The Game Cabinet http://www.gamecabinet.com/rules/ShipCaptainCrew.html Ship, Captain and Crew is also known as Ship, Captain and Mate. ?Each player gets three throws. He has to get a 6 (ship), a 5 (captain) and a 4 (crew), in that order, before he can make a point. As he throws each of these special numbers, those dice are removed from play. This is the combination phase of the game.? ?The total of the two dice left over is his point and the other player has to beat that total (the total part).? ?The gimmick that the three dice combination of Ship, Captain and Crew has to be built in order. That is, the shooter must throw the 6 before or at the same time as the 5 and the 5 before or at the same time as the 4. These last two dice cannot be set aside one at a time, but have to be thrown as a pair? ?If the shooter makes his Ship, Captain and Crew on his first or second throw, he can use the other throws to try to get a high point. Obviously, the best situation is to get Ship, Captain and Crew on the first throw, so you have two chances to throw a high point.?
