About this game

Zilch is a known family dice game.

RULES:
1. Roll the dice
You start your turn by rolling all six dice.

2. Scoring dice? Take some points.
If you rolled some scoring dice then you need to take some of those points before you can roll again. See what scoring dice are below.

3. No scoring dice? You zilched.
This means that all the points you took so far are wiped out. You bank no points and it's the end of your turn. If this is your third zilch in a row then you lose 500 points.

4. Scored 300 or more? Bank the points.
Once you have taken at least 300 points you can choose to bank them or keep on rolling the dice. If you bank the points then they are added to your score and your turn is over. If you decide to carry on rolling then you could roll more scoring dice but you could zilch out.

5. Re-roll the remaining dice
You can re-roll any dice that you didn't score with. Once you have scored points from all six dice you get a free roll!

Ratings and reviews

Gameplay seemed nice and easy, but I was far too distracted by the sounds I couldn't mute in the game (music can be turned off, other sounds cannot). For those of us that like to listen to music on other apps while playing games, using the media volume control to control sounds in the app isn't an option. It would be great to have an option in this app to mute all game sounds. Thanks!

Really nice visuals, haven't had a good look to see if settings has options for different variations, but not the rules I grew up playing with, at least not how it plays when you go straight into a game, will look to see if it has variations. Few minutes later, just had a look, and no other variations, pity.

I loved playing this game years ago. I hoped I could have the same experience playing this game as I did before. I was quite surprised with the dice rolls. Sometimes they were too good to be true, sometimes not. Zilches also occured more frequently than expected. Also, I noticed a small inconsistency. "Any three pairs" is worth 1500 points. It says that correctly in the rules section, but when playing the actual game, it is only valued at 1000 points. Hoping you could fix that later on.
