Chingona

Dice game

Chingona, also known as Ship, Captains, Crew, is a dice game for two or more players that uses four or five dice, either standard or poker dice, along with a cup for shaking and rolling. Each player takes an initial roll and then may re-roll selected dice up to two more times while setting aside the dice that best build a strong hand, with rolled ones counting as wild and able to stand in for other values when the final hand is scored. The game is most often played informally to decide who pays for the next round of drinks, though it can also be played for money. Its structure resembles Yahtzee's roll-and-hold format but is considerably simpler, without Yahtzee's scorecard of named combinations.
