To all you doom-laden cynics: the luck runs both ways you know. I just played a game where Reckless was on 9,700 & I was stuck on 7,050 but then he rolled about 6 Zilches (minus 1,000 points) and I caught him and won. Gaby made a great game but is still being criticised by others' ignorance of the word 'random'!

TIP: don't play reckless. that sumbi+ch is a dirty cheater. rolls 123456 two times in a row, banks 4k in one turn to take the lead...

I don't know if it's possible for someone close to Gaby to update this (so we can have multiplayer back) but I would love for that to happen :(

the equation is wrong it should be x=y*2^n-2 should be the equation in the scoring section.
Rolling 3 fours scores 200 which fits because
200=200^3-2
but rolling 4 fours scores 400
and 400=/=200^4-2.

If you end up in a tie it does not count as winning or losing for any of the badges including the close win and close lose badges. Also, as mentioned by others, the tracking for the hard badge is way off. It seems to go up while you earn during play and then go back to 79 if you have to reload later.

You know, the last few times I checked my progress under "Fool's Gold Badge," it said my current progress was 82, then 80, now 79. When I count them myself, the game says I've won 97/120. Ouch. Those of you playing right now might want to take note!

@Vortigon: Actually, three 2s is bad but it's not the worst unless you already have points in the bank for that turn. The worst is to keep rolling fives until you get to four of them and it's still only 200 points. When you're at three dice in bank, you always have the chance to roll three of any number and then roll again. When you have four, that chance is gone and you're just stuck wishing for a miracle, lol.

I was winning by 5,000 points. I had over 10,000 points. Then in the final round the other guy got amazing luck and somehow beat me

reckless is unbeatable its really annoying he has won the past 12 games against me even when i just go for three hundred and bank i get a zilch every other round

This game is fun, addicting and entertaining. 4/5. Actually, I want to say that I miss you gaby, so for what effort you had done for your years,
I will give 5/5.

That moment when you are rushing through the game without thinking choosing between 3 twos or 3 sixes. Chose one, roll again, realize, zilch, slap yourself.

You can get the game going again if the CPU freezes! Reckless froze on me, but instead of hitting "quit game" I tried "play on" and it stopped "thinking" and resumed its turn! Hopefully this works every time... :D

I love this game but Reckless' amazing luck and Realist's odd tendency to freeze when I have a decent lead (and "you have to take some points before you roll" comes up as if I was the one playing)... can get frustrating. :')

This got very interesting upon the (early) realization you have to take some risks to do well in this game. Great achievements list. Looks like I'll be coming back regularly to fill it up. I love games like this one and Necronomicon-- both are polished enough to have me playing genres I don't even normally like. :D

Also it'd be very helpful if the font was legible. Of course that might be helped if the game window wasn't so damned tiny.

This game used to have a 'Stats' page. Are we now playing an old version of Zilch that's found it's way back into Kongregate?

Played 10 rounds of this, reckless computer beat me every single time; I had 4-8 zilches each round, most of which I never hit the 300 min.
Neat game, just not set up very well.

@madmax, this is a old game that a lot of people played with dice before anyone had a computer to put it on. My family didn't have a 300 point minimum, but also didn't have a "500 pts for rolling nothing" rule. I've seen a few variants around, some with the same name, some with different names.
