About the game
Watch the sparks fly in Flash!, a lightning-fast dice dash. Players race to complete eight challenges of dice combinations while racking up the most points. Best not blink as any player could score in a flash! To start, each player receives six dice. Someone picks a challenge for the round: all dice even, three pairs, straight, flash!, etc. On the count of three, everyone starts to roll...and roll, and roll again, keeping the dice they like and trying again with the others until they achieve the combination. Roll a lightning bolt, and you can make it any number you wish. Once you've finished, collect the highest point chip available and write this number on your score pad. Move on to the next challenge and play through all eight rounds. Whoever has the highest score wins. If you're feeling like fortune is on your side, play Freestyle Flash and choose your challenge as you go!

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Flash! is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Flash! for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Flash! has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
