Any time you roll and don't get a "5," a "10," a Flash, or a Freight Train, you Wimpout. You lose all the points for that turn and it's the next player's turn. There are some exceptions. See Re-Roll Rule. Good news: When you Wimpout, you only lose the points rolled on that turn, not your accumulated point total for the game.

A Cosmic Wimpout is an unusually fun roll that ends with a player wimping out and losing a lot of points. It usually happens after the player is forced to keep rolling by the Futtless Rule, Re-Roll Rule, or the You May Not Want To But You Must Rule. You will know when it happens by all the laughter and twisted expression on the face of the victim-player.

If the first time you heard "Cosmic Wimpout," you said, "Cosmic What?" then you need to know that Cosmic Wimpout is a Dice Game that's Pure Fun. You play by rolling the five Cosmic Wimpout cubes and get points for each 5, 10, or Flash (triplet) that you roll. You can accumulate points towards the Winning Total by ending your turn or risking it all, because if you roll and don't score, you lose all the points for that turn and the next player goes.
