Popcorn Dice

Players roll a pool of dice to “pop” kernels, aiming to collect popcorn results while avoiding burned results that can bust the round. Each single popcorn face scores one point, double-pop faces score two, and kernel faces are set aside to be rerolled on subsequent rolls. After each roll, players choose to bank their round’s points or press their luck and roll again; accumulating four burned faces in a round causes the player to score zero for that turn, though double-pop faces can cancel burned faces. Play continues until a player reaches the target score or achieves a perfect bowl of only pop and double-pop faces.
