In Zilch, two players attempt to score a set number of points before their opponent does, simply by deciding on when to roll the dices and when to bank in the points they've acquired up to that roll. Like Yahtzee, certain dice combinations awards more points, but the bank option is only available when you've scored a total of three hundred points from all your rolls. You also lose your turn and all accumulated points for that round if you fail to score anything after your first roll in each turn.

With the tutorial enabled, players would require only a couple of turns to grasp the basic rules of the game. (mirror)

Addictive! The computer cheats though, I'm sure of it.

Zilch is a great game, but I wish I could somehow mute or drown everyone in the obnoxious chat panel. There doesn't seem to be a working way of stopping the inane drivel coming from the chat pane.

If you don't like Kongregate, feel free to play on the main site:
