Special Category
Platzy: Five of a Kind (all dice showing the same number), worth 50 points.

Instead of the normal straights, Platzy features two new straight categories:
Arithmetic Straight: At least three dice with a constant difference (e.g. 2+4+6=12).
Geometric Straight: At least three dice with a constant ratio (e.g. 1+2+4+8+16=31).

Additionally, there are two number-theory-based categories:
Primes: The sum of all dice showing prime numbers.
Composites: The sum of all dice showing composite numbers.

Winning Condition
The player with the highest total score wins.
