To the game I once again created a video where I show the game, the materials and the game play again in detail. Since this game is really short and simple should be able to start playing the game, after seeing the video. Although I almost fear that it already almost sounds too complicated in the video.
Here, the process is really simple. In your turn, takes the 6 dice and rolls. The sum of the two white dice are called aloud, this may tick each to himself, in any color - so he wants because. Then the active player may combine any of the four color cube with the white cube and the number thus obtained au mark his bow.
There show the colors red and yellow, the numbers 2-12 and the colors green and blue, the numbers from 12-2, so descending.
Whenever you make a cross in a row, you must from now on only the right to make it crosses the left is taboo.
Want or can do no cross you have to make a hook at misthrow - that brings the end of each hook or cross 5 minus points and four missed shots when a player is final.
Also closing is when two rows have been completed.
One can conclude a number if you have made at least five crosses and then the last number of the series was erwürfelt, either 12/12 (yellow / red) or 2/2 (green / blue). Is a series completed, the die is removed from the game, no one can make more crosses there.
Then look to see how many crosses have been made with a color. In general - the more crosses more points. The misses will be deducted of who then has the most points is the winner. Quite simply, very trite, but super fun. And especially in a maximum of 15-20 minutes into the game, rather still significantly less
There are several tactics you can try, even if it is almost presumptuous to talk about with this simple dice game of tactics. You can just try quickly in two rows making five crosses to finish the game quickly. You can also try always to use the ideal litter and not to take a weaker combination.
Here you can also build up pressure, it has been in two rows of four crosses must the players expect to end the game quickly. Then make VLT. but further to the right crosses as originally planned. But to make that pays long-term? Just because you might conclude rows far from the happening, the figures must first be rolled.
As already put more in it than meets the eye at first glance. Is beautiful especially that every player is involved always this half, because you have to visit us if you can take advantage of the white cube of the players sense. It is also played pretty fast, because every once Dices. 3x not dice, no dice out place - no dice once, VLT. use the weißte dice result, VLT. use a combination result and is already off the next player - where I yes VLT. also can use the pure white result again.
One can in this game, of course, do not expect too much. Those looking for a special gimmick or a particularly elegant gameplay here is wrong. The game is really just as simple as it sounds - and that's his secret, it was so far very good in all rounds, and there were always demanded more lots.
Really good is the extreme portability. Whether on the train, in the car, in the swimming pool, on vacation - Qwixx you can play anywhere. It does not take much space, offers exciting entertainment, has a high-factor again and simply fun - what you'd expect for the price more.
The only downer is the game block. Washable tableaux like St. Malo for example would have been significantly great. Although the block contains quite a few slips, but as the game is played so fast and has a challenging character, should the be empty soon. However kan buy more blocks individually.
So that I would also be the end. For such a small, short dice game I have already written quite a lot, but the game is really simple funny and good. In my opinion, this year, all three nominated games a good chance, because they are simply well done and entertaining are just above all. Who has the video not yet seen and would like trotdem should still get an idea itself, should watch the video. I can not write any more, my Qwixx calls ....
PS: Oh yes even if I have just made fun of the name similarity to Qwirkle, this game has nothing to do with Qwirkle and I find it much more entertaining than Qwirkle!
