whether you want to interpret six "3s" as two separate sets of three "3s" is irrelevant, as that would score 6 VP either way:
- one set of "3s" = 3 VP, plus 3 additional VPs per "3" = 6 VP
- two sets of "3s" = 3 VP x 2 = 6 VP
- one set of "3s" = 3 VP, plus 3 additional VPs per "3" = 6 VP
- two sets of "3s" = 3 VP x 2 = 6 VP
True, but for 1's and 2's it does matter.
If you roll all 1's, does that mean 1VP +3 additional = 4,
or 2 triplets so 1 + 1 = 2?
If you roll all 2's, does that mean 2VP +3 additional = 5,
or 2 triplets so 2 + 2 = 4?
This does again boil down to "do you count all available triplets, or just one + any bonus points?" which was the original question.
If you in fact count all available triplets, then rolling 5x 1 is actually better than 6x 1.
5 1s are worth 5 points (three for the triplet and an extra one for each extra 1).
You don't count all available triplets.
6 1s are worth 6 points.
