I. Roll Dice

On your turn, you can roll the dice up to three times. You can stop rolling any time.

On the first Roll, roll the 6 black dice (and 1 or 2 green dice if you have a Power card that lets you roll them). For your second Roll, if you like some of your results, you can set them aside and only roll the ones you don't like again. For your third Roll, if you change your mind, you can roll any dice you set aside again, along with any you still don't like.

After you finish your three Rolls (or you decide to stop), continue to the Resolve Dice step.
