You know it for sure: you’re gonna hit 2,500 this round. You’re only 200 points away from victory. You pick your three dice and roll them. It feels like they’re rolling in slow motion. One star… two stars… The third die is still rolling… It’s in the hands of fate now, you’ll bust or you’ll Tally Up!
The goal of Tally Up! is simple: be the first person to hit 2,500 points. This is a high-stakes group gamble where you’re all building up a shared pot of points, but will you know when to walk away with your winnings before the whole thing crashes?
The game revolves around a player who chooses three dice to roll, each with its own level of risk and reward. Once those dice are cast, the numbers on them create a "running total" of points for everyone in the round. But watch out for stars: if two of them show up at any point, the round ends in a bust, the points vanish, and anyone who stayed in the game walks away with absolutely nothing for that round.
After every single roll, everyone has to decide: stay in to chase a higher score, or play it safe and go out to bank your share of the current total? If you go out, you safely add your share to your total score and sit back to watch the others. If you stay in, you're hoping for more points from the "Up Die", a special die that, when in play, can double your points, add extra rolls, but also penalize the group.
But there is more: a bit of chaotic luck involved with the "Tally Up!" bonus. If the initial roll lands on three stars, everyone needs to rush because the first person who clicks (or taps or whatever needs to be done on your device) on the "Tally Up!" button grabs a 200-point bonus, even if they had already decided to bow out of the round.
So, will you play safe or get greedy?

We're staying in on this one: thanks to Eric Olsen, the game designer, and Messy Table Games, the publisher, for letting us use their game. And we're banking our thanks to BanBan, the game developer, for the BGA port.
This was your Wednesday release.
Happiness is only a roll away. Take care and play fair…
Seštej! Bi moral ostati ali iti?
Zagotovo veš: v tem krogu boš dosegel 2500 točk. Do zmage te loči le še 200 točk. Izbereš tri kocke in jih vržeš. Občutek je, kot da se kotalijo v počasnem posnetku. Ena zvezdica ... dve zvezdici ... Tretja kocka se še vedno kotali ... Zdaj je v rokah usode, ali boš zadel ali pa se boš seštel!
Cilj igre Tally Up! je preprost: bodi prvi, ki doseže 2500 točk. To je skupinska igra z visokimi vložki, kjer vsi zbirate skupni sklad točk, toda ali boste vedeli, kdaj oditi s svojim dobitkom, preden se vse skupaj sesuje?
Igra se vrti okoli igralca, ki izbere tri kocke za met, vsaka s svojo stopnjo tveganja in nagrade. Ko so te kocke odvržene, številke na njih ustvarijo »skupni seštevek« točk za vse v krogu. Vendar bodite pozorni na zvezdice: če se na kateri koli točki pojavita dve od njih, se krog konča z izenačenjem, točke izginejo in vsi, ki so ostali v igri, odidejo brez absolutno ničesar za ta krog.
Po vsakem metu se morajo vsi odločiti: ostati notri in loviti višji rezultat ali igrati na varno in oditi, da si prihranite svoj delež trenutnega seštevka? Če odidete, varno dodate svoj delež k skupnemu seštevku in se usedete nazaj ter opazujete druge. Če ostanete notri, upate na več točk z "Up Die", posebno kocko, ki lahko, ko je v igri, podvoji vaše točke, doda dodatne mete, a tudi kaznuje skupino.
Vendar je tu še več: pri bonusu »Seštej!« je potrebna še kaotična sreča. Če se na začetku pojavijo tri zvezdice, morajo vsi hiteti, saj prva oseba, ki klikne (ali se dotakne ali karkoli drugega naredi na svoji napravi) gumb »Seštej!«, prejme 200 točk bonusa, tudi če se je že odločila, da izstopi iz kroga.
Torej, boste igrali na varno ali postali pohlepni?
