We usually play to 10,000,Definitely Good stuff for All us kids! Mille Borne,a card game, is another good time killer,& teaches a bit of French,as well! Cheers!


We play:
five-of-a-kind : Multiply four-of-a-kind score by 2

You can roll the 6th dice, but it won't count as 6 of a kind !

We also play to 10,000 but you can play to 1000 for a quick game.

The great thing about Zilch is it is very compact, and its great for kids learning to add up. I keep my set in a matchbox.
