#### Merge Points

Merge points will be rewarded when you merge 3 or more similar value dice.

> for example: if you merge three dice with value 2, you will receive 40 x 3 = 120 points

| Dice Value     | Scores |
| -------------- | ------ |
| 1 x 1 x 1      | 60     |
| 2 x 2 x 2      | 120    |
| 3 x 3 x 3      | 180    |
| 4 x 4 x 4      | 270    |
| 5 x 5 x 5      | 390    |
| 6 x 6 x 6      | 540    |
| Super Dice x 3 | 900    |

> If you merge more than 3 dice of the same value, your score will be multiplied in a similar way. for example: if **you merge four dice of value 5 then your score points will be 130 x 4 = 520**
