For example, if the first roll of the dice shows a 6, a 4, two 3s and a 1, the player banks the 6 but must reroll the 4 because there is no 5 yet. If their second roll is a 6, a 5, a 4 and a 1 they may bank the 5 and 4 together, and now they have a full "crew" for their ship. Each player has only three rolls, and after their third they score ...

[1] Developed in Denver, Colorado in the 1880s, [2] it was soon regarded as the most important member of the all fours family in the USA, but went out of fashion with the rise of Auction Bridge. [3]
The game is played with a standard pack of 52 cards. The cards are ranked in the usual order, from aces, kings, queens etc. down to twos. As a special case, the off-Pedro, i.e. the non-trump five which is of the same color as trumps, is for all purposes considered to be a member of the trump suit ranking between the Pedro (five of trumps) and the four of trumps.

This variation is more strategic than the basic rules since it is possible to know which cards have been already played and which ones are available to other players.
