From the BGG entry:

'Solitaire dice game in which you get to throw the dice exactly 30 times. If you are efficient with your early tosses, you can use your saved throws to improve your score.'

Throw all six dice. You can rethrow the dice, keeping some or none of the original throw. You can then make a third throw, keeping whatever dice you want. After three throws, you have to score the dice. You can quit, however, after one, two, or three throws.

Pick one of the rows to score in. In rows 4 through 12, score only the dice that show that number or any dice that sum up to that number. For example, if the dice read 1-3-3-4-5-6 and you wanted to score in the "6" row, you could use the dice that read 1 and 5 (which sum up to 6), 3 and 3 (same reason), and 6. The score would be 18, which you would write next to "6" in the scoresheet. Scoring in the row labeled "Lo" works a little differently. Simply score for every die that is 3 or less.

Keep track of unused throws, because they can be used to re-roll a row once you have finished all the rows.

Total up the numbers in the ten scoring rows. You win if your total is 200 points or higher.

30 can also be played competitively. Each player rolls their own dice and continues until they score in a row. Whoever has the highest total at the end of the game wins.
