For ex. if player rolled 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6 then he\/she can set aside two sixes or two fours or any of the remaining numbers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once player has set aside a particular number, that number can not be set aside in subsequent rolls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In each roll player must get at least one number which has not been set aside yet. If he\/she fails to do so, his\/her turn ends automatically and score for that turn is zero.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After each roll player can decide whether to roll further to score more points or, stop and claim the points already scored for that round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If player decides to stop then their score is equal to the total of all dice numbers which were set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The game is played either for a certain number of rounds or for a certain score (for ex. 100). This needs to be determined by the players at the beginning of the game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Player scoring most points after the predetermined number of rounds or reaching to the predetermined winning score first wins the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn Octo dice game by playing it below (click box below to load the game)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.netexl.com\/howtoplay\/games\/octo\/index.html\" width=\"320px\" \u00a0height=\"360px\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netexl.com\/howtoplay\/games\/octo\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> to open the game on mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The objective of Octo dice game is to score most points to win.
