Ship, Captain and Crew Dice Game: how to play, rules & tips

Play Ship, Captain and Crew free online: the classic bar dice game where you roll for a 6, 5 and 4 in order, then score the two dice left over as your cargo.

How to play Ship, Captain and Crew

You roll five dice up to three times per round. You must find a Ship (a 6), then a Captain (a 5), then a Crew (a 4), in that order. A 5 does not count as your Captain until you have a 6, and a 4 does not count until you have both.

The game claims each one automatically as soon as it can. Between rolls, tap any other die to hold it. A 5 you hold while still hunting the Ship becomes your Captain the moment the 6 lands.

Once Ship, Captain and Crew are all secured, the last two dice are your cargo, and their sum (2 to 12) is your score for the round. You can bank the cargo or use your remaining rolls to re-roll it.

Rounds and scoring

A game is five rounds. Each round that sets sail pays a ship bonus plus Neons for every pip of cargo. A round that never finds all three scores nothing, but the voyage goes on.

Make the full Ship, Captain and Crew in all five rounds and you earn a voyage bonus at the end. Stuck? The Hint button marks which dice are worth holding.

Ship, Captain and Crew tips

Hold any 5 or 4 you roll before the Ship shows up. They lock in as soon as the 6 arrives.
Once the crew is full, a cargo of 8 or more is usually worth banking. The Hint holds cargo dice of 4 or more and re-rolls the rest.
Re-roll a low cargo when you have rolls left. A cargo of 2 or 3 has little to lose.
Hold a high cargo die (5 or 6) and re-roll only the low one.
Never end a round early without a full crew. A round with no Ship, Captain and Crew pays nothing, so use every roll.
