Read the full game description
Tally Up is a fast simultaneous push-your-luck dice game. Everyone begins each round IN while the active roller chooses three dice from low-, medium-, and high-risk colors. Numbers raise the shared running total, circled results trigger the volatile Up Die, and stars build toward a bust. After each safe roll, every player decides whether to stay IN for more points or go OUT and bank the current total. Two stars erase the round for anyone still in; a special three-star roll creates a reflexive Tally Up bonus. The first player to finish a round with at least 2,500 points wins.
