[Bonus Map] A Dice Minigame (Patreon)

I love the mini-game inside my campaign. It can be a random NPC inside a tavern or a small challenge during the adventure.

A simple dice game - PIG
Pig is a simple dice game first described in print by John Scarne in 1945. Players take turns to roll a single dice as many times as they wish, adding all roll results to a running total, but losing their gained score for the turn if they roll a 1.
Gameplay:
- If the player rolls a 1, the total score of that player returns to zero, and it becomes the next player's turn.
- If the player rolls any other number, it is added to their turn total score, the player can continue his turn.
- A player can also choose to "hold", if he does so, his turn total is added to their score, and it becomes the next player's turn.
- The first player to score 100 or more points wins. If you want to shorten the game, you can also change the target score to a lower number.

Dice 10000
Dice 10,000 (or 10000, 10,000 Dice, Ten Grand) also Greed, Dix Mille, Reload, 5-Dice is the name of a family dice game played with 6 dice; it is similar or identical to the commercialized Farkle. It also goes by other names, including Cargoose, Zilch, Zilchers, Foo, Boxcar, Bogus, Lewis' Dice, Crap Out.
Scoring
These are the base methods of scoring:
- Single fives are worth 50 points
- Single ones are worth 100 points
- Three of a kind are worth 100 points times the number rolled, except for three ones which are worth 1000 points
- If four, five, or six of a kind are rolled, each additional dice doubles the amount of dice previously rolled. For example, 4 dice showing the number 3 would be 600 points and 5 dice showing the number 3 would be 1200 pointsThis makes the highest possible score in a single roll 8000 for six ones (1000 for three ones, after that player multiplies the roll by two for each additional one in that series of rolling.)
- A straight from 1 to 6 is worth 1500 points. If a player fails to roll a straight, they may make one attempt to complete the straight. If the desired number(s) does not turn up on the next roll, that round is a "crap out" even if there are scoring dice on the table i.e. 1's or 5's.
- Three pairs are worth 1000 points, for instance 2+2, 4+4, 5+5. This rule does not count if you roll a quadruple and a pair e.g. 2+2, 2+2, 6+6 unless stated otherwise (some places have their own house rules).
- Full house (3 of a kind plus 2 of a kind) are worth 1,500
The player who reaches 10000 points first wins the game

Roll dice in the Fvtt:
In Fvtt, the default roll command will automatically sum the result. You will need to click the result bar to find each roll result. If you want to simplify this method, you can use the macro below, after clicking it, the chat bar will always show the individual rolls
Hooks.on("renderChatMessage", (message, html, data) => {
html.find('.dice-roll .dice-tooltip').css('display', 'block');
});l
don't forget to change the type from the chat to script
