Bank or Bust

Good to know

• The first three rolls are safe. A 7 on a safe roll adds 70.
• After that, doubles double the pot.
• Bust numbers are 7, or 4 and 10, or 2, 3, 11 and 12. Each set is equally likely to roll.
• Everyone sees who is riding, who banked and who busted.
• The last round counts double. Once per game you can turn on a Shield: bust with it on and keep half. The host can switch both off.

Highest total picks first. Ties go to a quick dice-off.

If you played it at a lunch table or on a bus with a scrap of paper, you know it as Bank — the press-your-luck dice game where everyone rides the same pot. This is that game, rebuilt for phones, with the rolls on the server so nobody has to trust the kid holding the dice.

The twist rounds

With the extras on (the host can switch them off), the final round counts double — and everyone holds a one-time Shield they can turn on before any earlier round, paying out half the pot if a bust catches them still in. It never covers the doubled finale, so spend it or lose it. The greedy hold their nerve, and the whole table yells at every roll once sevens go live.

The loud one

There's exactly one decision, which is when to bank, so nobody needs a rules lecture. A ten that knocks out three people while the rest keep riding, and the last player alone with a doubling pot, are the loudest the room gets. It's the best game to run while everyone is still trickling into the lobby — a random order generator gets you the same answer in one silent click; this gets it with the whole table yelling.
