GAME mechanics

  • Paper and pen: Each player receives an individual score sheet which is divided into different colored areas, each corresponding to a scoring category in the game. Players use pens to write down their choices and scores during the game. The areas on the paper offer different ways of scoring points based on the combinations and numbers selected. The aim is to fill in the areas optimally to maximize the total score at the end of the match. Careful management of where and when you write down is crucial to achieving a high score.
  • Rolling dice: The game uses a set of colored dice. During a player's turn, they roll all the dice. After rolling, the player chooses a dice to use, writing down the corresponding value on their score sheet. The dice not chosen are made available for other players to use in the secondary selection phase. The value of the dice can be combined with the specific scoring areas on the player's sheet, allowing for diversified strategies and requiring tactical decisions with each roll. Strategic use of the dice is crucial, as they determine the scoring options available each turn.
