At the end of the third roll, the player must enter a score into an open field on their scorecard. On the second and third rolls, the player may hold back dice from the previous rolls in order to create better scoring combinations. Each player can take up to three rolls per turn. The game consists of five white dice with colored pips (1 and 6 black, 2 and 5 red, 3 and 4 green), a dice cup, a pad of scorecards, and a pencil. A primary distinction is that in Kismet, the sides of the dice have different colored pips. Marketed as "The Modern Game of Yacht", the game play is similar to Yacht and Yahtzee, with a few variations. William DeLaittre holds the trademark on the game, which was originally published by Lakeside Games, and which is currently produced by Endless Games. The game's name is the Turkish word for "fate". Kismet is a commercial dice game introduced in 1964.
