Roll, keep, bank: a push-your-luck dice game in 6 modes. Solo, bots or online
Read full description
Zilch is the dice game where every roll is a gamble. Roll six dice, set aside the ones that score, then decide: roll again to build a bigger turn, or bank your points before your luck runs out? Score nothing on a roll and you zilch - the whole turn disappears.
First to the target score wins. Three zilches in a row cost you 500 points, so knowing when to stop matters as much as knowing when to roll.
How to play
- Each 1 scores 100 points, each 5 scores 50
- Three of a kind, four, five and six of a kind, straights and three pairs all score big
- Set aside at least one scoring die on every roll, then push your luck or bank (300 minimum)
- Score with all six dice and you earn a free roll, with your points riding along
- Roll no scoring dice at all and you zilch - so don't zilch!
Six game modes
- Classic - the rules above
- Speed - 10 seconds for every roll; run out and it counts as a zilch
- Teams - you and a bot partner against two bots, your two scores added up
- High Stakes - bank 500 or more, and three zilches in a row cost 1,000
- Opening 1,000 - nothing counts until you bank a turn of 1,000
- Combos - a big set doubles your turn, two big sets triple it
