Answer 2

I think you may be thinking about "Poker de dados". When you say this quickly, it probably sounds like "Obrigado" which is actually "thank-you" in Portuguese.

Basically you throw the dice and if you like what you've thrown (i.e. you have a good "hand"), you note down the score and pass the die on to the next player.

The die are classified in number order with 1 being the "best" i.e. 1-6-5-4-3-2

The values of throws are (in descending order):

1. poker real (cinco iguales)  (5 of the same)

2. poker cuádruple (cuatro iguales)  (4 of the same)

3. full (tres iguales y un par) (three of the same and a pair)

4. escalera mayor 2-3-4-5-6 (ascending stair)

5. escalera menor 1-2-3-4-5 (descending stair)

6. piernas (triples) (triple)

7. pares dobles  (double pairs)

8. pares. (pairs)

I hope this helps. I copied it off a Spanish dice game website and translated it for you.
