About Pig
Pig is the oldest press-your-luck dice game there is, played against the Pilgrim. Roll to build the pile, hold to bank it, and dread the one that burns it all. First to bank a hundred. Play solo or live at the open tables, free in your browser, no ads, no sign-up.
How to play
On your turn, roll the die and its pips join your running pile. Hold to bank the pile into your score for good. But roll a one and the whole pile burns, the turn ends, and the die crosses the table. First to bank a hundred takes the game; everything else is nerve.

Tips
A steady rule beats bravado: bank around twenty a turn rather than chasing a fat pile. Push harder only when you are well behind and need to close the gap in one throw.
