Mooncake Dice Game
Mooncake Dice Game is a traditional Mid-Autumn Festival game. Each game requires four players. Visitors can start a game by inviting friends or using matchmaking. The game consists of three rounds. In clockwise order, each visitor rolls once per round. The prize tier and score are determined immediately after each roll.
Prizes are determined by the combination of dice, in descending order: Champion, All Reds (Six 4s), All Ones, Six-of-a-Kind, Five Reds (Five 4s), Five Scholars (Five-of-a-Kind), Four Reds (Four 4s), Straight, Three Reds (Three 4s), Four Scholars (Four-of-a-Kind), Two Reds (Two 4s), and One Red (One 4). Higher tiers award more points.
Different characters have different active and passive abilities that can alter roll results and rewards. Before each game begins, you may choose one of three character abilities. You may refresh the recommendations once.
Any visitor who rolls Four Reds (Four 4s) or higher becomes the [Champion]. If another visitor later rolls a higher tier, they take the [Champion] title. Ties are decided on a first-come, first-served basis. The [Champion] receives a [Scholar Hat] and [Scholar Scrolls]. [Scholar Hat] can be worn and displayed in the Public Map, and [Scholar Scrolls] can be gifted to others to exchange for the [Scholar Hat].
Mooncake Dice Game scores carry over between games. Reach 200 Points to receive a [Portrait Frame]. At the end of each game, [Osmanthus Notes] are awarded according to rank. First through fourth place receive 5, 4, 2, and 1, respectively. When friends play in the same game after inviting one another, both players receive 2 additional [Osmanthus Notes] per game.
