About the score sheet maker
Game night needs a pen and a good score sheet. This tool prints one in seconds, made for your game and your players:
- Card games — the players across the top, the rounds down the side and a Total row at the bottom. Works for rummy, hearts, spades, canasta, gin rummy and any game where you add points every round.
- 5-dice game — the classic game where you roll five dice up to three times and fill one box per turn. The sheet has the upper section with the 35-point bonus, the lower section and a column that says how to score each box.
- Your own sheet — your own row labels, your own number of columns, with or without a total row. For board games, quiz nights, mini golf or bowling with friends.
Type the names if you like, or leave them empty and write them by hand. Print one big sheet per page, or two per page to cut in half.

The 5-dice game: how to score
Each player has 13 turns. In a turn you roll the five dice up to three times, keeping any dice you like. Then you write a score in one empty box — even a 0 if nothing fits.
| Box | What you need | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Ones to Sixes | Any dice | Add only the dice of that number (three 4s = 12) |
| Bonus | Upper section 63 or more | 35 |
| Three of a kind | 3 dice the same | Add all 5 dice |
| Four of a kind | 4 dice the same | Add all 5 dice |
| Full house | 3 of one number + 2 of another | 25 |
| Small straight | 4 numbers in a row (1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, 3-4-5-6) | 30 |
| Large straight | 5 numbers in a row (1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6) | 40 |
| Five of a kind | All 5 dice the same | 50 |
| Chance | Any dice | Add all 5 dice |
| Extra five of a kind | Another five of a kind after the first 50 | 100 each |
Why 63? 63 is three of each number: 3 × (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) = 3 × 21 = 63. Get three of each in the upper section and you earn the 35 bonus.
The highest possible score with no extra bonus is 375: 105 in the upper section (five of each number), plus 35, plus 30 + 30 + 25 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 30 in the lower section.
Running totals for card games
Tick Running total next to each score and each player gets two small columns: Score for this round and Total so far. Everyone can see who is ahead without adding up a long column at the end. Good for games played to a target, like 500 in rummy or 100 in hearts.
Six styles
- Classic — a coloured header and striped rows
- Minimal — black lines on white, saves ink
- Bold — a colour band with the title in white
- Card table — green and gold, like the felt of a card table
- Soft — pale colours and dotted lines
- Playful — bright colours and stars, for family game night
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official score sheet of a dice game brand?
No. It is a free, plain score sheet for the classic game with five dice. It works with any set of five normal dice, and the rules above are the common family rules.
How many players can I add?
Up to 12. Choose the number of players, or type more names than that and the sheet adds the columns.
Can I print several sheets at once?
Yes. Set Pages to up to 20. With 2 per page, 10 pages give you 20 score sheets.
Can I make a sheet for golf, bowling or a quiz?
Yes. Choose My own sheet and type the row labels — for example Hole 1 to Hole 9, or Round 1 to Round 6. Or leave them empty for numbered rows.
Why are the name boxes empty?
You can leave the names empty, so one printout works for any game night. Type names to print them in the header.
