Zilch is that rarest of games – a near-impenetrable dice game that nobody can stop playing. Explaining the rules of Zilch would probably take up the entire internet, so here’s the main thrust.

You have a bunch of dice and you throw them. Depending on the combination, you get points. You can bank some of the dice and throw the remainder, but if you throw a combination that doesn’t score, you lose everything and your opponent takes a turn. Whoever gets through the point barrier first wins. Understand Zilch? No, us neither really. But play it and you’ll be hooked.
