you need to roll a pair and the third dice is your number. a 4,4,1 loses to a 1,1,4. you roll till you get the pair or the following:
4, 5, 6 = cee lo which is automatic victory
1, 2, 3 = automatic loss
trips beat everything except 4,5,6
when you win a game, you have to stay at least one more (at least in my hood it was like that)
