NIGHT DICE

Help & Support

Rules and a scorekeeper for classic dice games.

Getting started

  1. Pick a game from the home screen — each card shows the players and number of variations.
  2. Read the rules any time with the book icon, or from the Rules button on the home screen.
  3. Start a game: add players (names are optional — blank slots become "Player 1," "Player 2," and so on), choose a variation, then tap Start Game.
  4. Keep score: most games use quick +/− buttons with a running total; Yard Dice and Bunco use a tap-to-enter scorecard that totals automatically.
  5. Finish to crown a winner and save the game to your History.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Night Dice works completely offline.

Where is my data stored? Is any of it sent anywhere?

Everything — player names, scores, and saved games — is stored only on your device and is never transmitted. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Can I pause a game and come back to it?

Yes. Your in-progress game is saved automatically. When you return to the home screen, tap Resume Game to pick up where you left off. Starting a brand-new game will replace the one in progress.

How do I delete my saved games?

Open History and remove individual games, discard an in-progress game from the Resume card, or delete the app to remove all data at once.

Are these the "official" rules?

The rules are original, plain-language summaries written to help you play. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or copied from any game publisher. House rules vary widely — agree on yours before you start, and use the in-app variations as a guide.

One game needs special equipment — why?

Bounce Die is a toss-and-catch board game that uses a dedicated board and a specialty bounce die (sold as a set). The app keeps score; you supply the gear.

How does scoring work for each game?

Most games use a quick +/− running tally. Yard Dice and Bunco use a tap-to-enter scorecard that totals automatically — including the upper-section bonus in Yard Dice. The losing player or team simply loses the round or takes a penalty point; set whatever friendly forfeit your group likes.
