In this paper, we solve and visualize optimal play for the Great Rolled Ones jeopardy dice game by Mitschke and Scheunemann [4, p. 4-5]. We share the second player advantage and compute that the first player should start with 3 compensation points (komi) for greatest fairness. We present a spectrum of human-playable strategies that trade off greater play complexity for better performance, and collectively clarify key considerations for excellent play.
