          1. Total up the results from all dice.
          2. All markers on your player board for the skill being tested that are <= the roll total are counted as a success.
          3. Each ★ on effort dice also counts as 1 success.
          4. Enter the total number of successes into the app (not the roll total).
          5. Follow any instructions in the app.
      • Results from a test may vary based on the number of successes.
