The shooter establishes the "point" by rolling the dice on what's called the "come-out" roll. The "point" numbers are 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. The object of the game is to re-hit that "point" before a 7 shows. If the "point" is re-hit, the shooter continues to roll the dice, but if a seven is rolled, the dice are passed to the next shooter.
