Hiya, there's a gambling game that gives you 6 dices, you need to roll those dices and pick the highest number in it, for every roll you need to pick up atleast one dice, but if you get more than one 6 you can pick them up on the turn of the roll. For every dice you pick up, you lose the chance to roll that dice, However you must get a 1 and 4 as qualifying dices, if you don't get a 1 and 4 at the turn of the last dice roll, you automaticly lose.

You are also playing against 3 other players.

So the best score would be 6666 1 4

So far the best win ratio I can get so far is 1/5, this is by playing 500 games, picking the 1 and 4 first. Then picking only 6's but if there aren't any 6's I pick the next highest number.

What would the best play method be?

E.g. picking up a 1 and 4 first, or picking up two high dices first, and then getting the 1 and 4.
