What to Expect
In 1%, you try to roll a 0 with two 10-sided dice — a 1% chance. This fast and fun card game blends strategy with probability and a touch of bluffing. You decide whether to risk rolling or sacrifice your turn to improve your odds next time. The game can end anytime if another player wins, creating a dynamic interplay of risk and calculation.

The game is designed for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy simple rules with strategic depth. With about 30 minutes playtime, it's suitable for quick sessions and game nights. The mechanics are accessible, requiring no extensive prior experience.
How It Works
