Mythical Dice

If the first die is a number, you must follow with that colour if you can, but you may always choose to play a Special die instead; the colour in play remains the first die's colour until the end of the turn (Rulebook p.4).

Ties on numbers (or identical symbol faces) are won by the player who rolled the tied result last (i.e., the most recent of the tied rolls) (Rulebook pp.2, 4).

All symbol faces beat any number; the special-symbol cycle is Minotaur beats Griffin, Griffin beats Mermaid, and Mermaid beats Minotaur — additionally, if all three symbols appear in one turn the Mermaid wins the trick (Rulebook pp.5–6).

No — White Flag is the weakest side and is worth zero; only if every die rolled shows a White Flag does the player who started the turn win the trick (Rulebook pp.3–4).

You earn bonuses only if your round bet is correct and the defeated special die was not on its White Flag: Minotaur grants +30 points per Griffin defeated, and Mermaid grants +50 points for defeating the Minotaur (Rulebook pp.5, 6–7).
