GOING TO BOSTON
[source: John Scarne, "Scarne on Dice"]

This game, played with three dice, is also known as Yankee Grab
and Newmarket.

It can be played with any number of players, each of whom
contributes equally to the pot and each of whom has three throws
with the dice. Each player plays as follows:

On the first throw, the highest die must be set aside, and the two
others retained for another roll. On the second roll, the higher die is
kept and the lower is used for last roll. When two dice are equal, one
must be used for the last roll. After the third throw, the player's total
is the sum of the three dice.
