Tally Up

About this board game

Tally Up! is a fast-paced push-your-luck dice game for 2–10 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. Released in 2026, it challenges everyone to manage risk, build points, and time the perfect exit.

Each round begins with all players IN, while one player becomes the active roller. That player selects three of the six colorful Tally Dice, choosing among Low, Medium, or High Risk dice. Lower-risk dice offer smaller point values, while higher-risk dice provide bigger numbers with a greater chance of busting.

After every roll, each player decides whether to stay IN and chase a higher running total or go OUT to safely bank the points already accumulated. Two stars in the main roll cause a bust, reducing the score for everyone still IN to zero for that round.

• Low, Medium, and High Risk dice: Choose the balance of points and danger.
• Up Die: Circled numbers can trigger bonuses, penalties, or extra rolls that increase the tension.
• Tally Up! bonus: Three stars on the main roll let the first player to call “Tally Up!” claim a bonus, even if OUT.

The Up Die can add further uncertainty: if two or more stars appear across the main roll and Up Die roll, it is a bust. However, three stars on the main roll alone create the special bonus, with other players still IN receiving a smaller bonus.

To win Tally Up!, be the first player to reach at least 2,500 points at the end of a round. Every decision matters: push for more, or bank your running total before the next roll sends it all crashing to zero.
