I'm trying to remember how to play a dice game that involves 5 dice. You roll the dice 5 times, but each time you must take away at least one. The object is to reach a number (I forget what the exact target number is, 21 or 25 maybe) in those 5 rolls. If the target number has been reached, I think the roller then rolls one die. Whatever number the die lands on, that's the amount every other player owes the roller (for example, if the roller rolls a 4, then each participating player must then pay $4 to the roller). If the roller is under the target number, then i think he must pay whatever number the die lands on to every other player.....This is vaguely what I remember from the game. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Qualify This is a banking game played with five dice that requires stakes. Play: The banker covers each stake the other players put up, to an agreed limit. Each player in turn has five throws, putting the highest die to one side after each roll and throwing with the remainder. After the last throw, with the last die, the five dice put aside are totalled. If the total is 25 or more then the player wins and takes his stake back with an equal amount of the banker's. If the total is 24 or less, the banker collects the players stake. Variations: A more social game, sometimes called High Dice, can be played with out a banker. Each player throws the dice and must put aside one (or more if they wish) after each roll and throw the remainder again. The winner is the player with the highest total once every one has had a turn, who then takes the stakes.

This sounds similar but not quite the same because in the game I know, you don't have to wait for every player to roll. It has something to do with the difference of the total amount rolled vs. the target of 25 which = the $ owed by each player to the roller.
