Customer Review

Goal of the game
Together with the raccoons Jones you make yourselves on a journey into the jungle. There the unexplored temple of Mayan God "Tschakka Lakka" should lie. And what is there in an unexplored temple? Correct, treasures and gems. But to get to the treasure, you have to roll the right temple icon to appease Tschakka Lakka. Dices her but too many skulls or can pose on a roll no treasure, then Tschakka Lakka is evil and throw you out of the temple. So you have to always decide how far you want to go, or simply rely on your luck with the dice. Who could involve appreciate most at the end wins the game.

Building
From the four parts of the Schedule Schedule is mated. Then come into the pits of the game board the treasures. There are treasures in four colors and three sizes. When distributing the treasures you should just make sure that the various treasure types are well distributed and no more than three of the same color next to each other. Then the gems are placed on the same color fields on the game board. The Victory Points tokens are placed next to the board, as the cube and the raccoon Jones figure. Here we go.

Gameplay
The player at the train goes through the following phases:

1. Insert raccoon Jones
2. Place cubes and cubes
3. collect treasures and precious stones, or roll again.

1. Insert raccoon Jones
Raccoon Jones may be installed in any free treasure box or on one of the four inputs.
At the beginning of the game only the inputs are allowed, since no treasure was still safe.
One must the raccoon Jones figure but also leave if you want to start from the last point.
The figure must be adjacent vertically or horizontally only at least one treasure, as you can not do anything else.

2. Place cubes and cubes
You take all seven dice and rolls. All diced skull dice come off and may not be re-rolled.
Then you have to put at least one die on an adjoining treasure of the same color.
Where: The treasure must horizontally or vertically adjacent to the Raccoon Jones. Diagonal is not allowed.
If several cubes fit in various treasures we may still occupy only a treasure per dice roll.

- Depending on the size of the treasure must ...
... Be placed in a small treasure, a matching color cube on the treasure ...
... Be placed in a central treasury two matching color cube on the treasure ...
... Be placed in a large treasure three matching color cube on the treasure ...
to Tschakka Lakka move to release the treasure.

If you roll a golden raccoons, it will be considered as a joker for any color.

You have a treasure but can not completely cover with a roll of the dice, but this can also make over several throws away.
The important thing is that you must also place a cube on one of the neighboring treasures per dice roll.

Shared resources belong to the shooter when he stops in time with the dice.
Because you can put any of his dice longer valid, so the round for the player is over and he gets no treasure, he would have already earned.

Is a treasure filled with enough dice and thus released, then the adjoining treasure is a possible target cube.

3. collect treasures and precious stones, or roll again
If you have at least placed a cube valid, you have to decide whether to again rolls the remaining dice or ceases.
You roll the dice once more, so you have to re-set it aside and put a cube valid on a treasure least the Skull Dice.
Is it possible to do so, one must decide whether to play dice with the remaining dice again or prefer to stop again.
Because, as explained above, you lose all shared in this round treasures once you can place no more dice valid.

If you listen to the Place a cube, however, so one must take all the treasures that have been unlocked in this round.
Was the last of the four treasures taken around a gem, so we must take advantage of the gem itself.

Then the next player's turn. He takes the seven dice and begins his turn with the onset of Raccoon Jones.

Full time
The game ends when only three or fewer gems on the game board are.
Then the current round is played to the end, so that each player has had a turn equal number of times.
Now the points are counted. For this you can use the VP markers, or simply form stacks of 10 points, which I thought was easier.

The treasures and precious stones have the following value:
Little Treasure = 1 point
Middle treasure = 2 points
Big treasure = 3 points

Yellow jewel = 2 points
Pink Gem = 3 points

Then, each color nor checked who has the most treasure it.
For this is built on each color a tower and compares the towers of the players together.
The player with the highest tower of a color is rewarded with 5 points.
If two players have the highest tower, so everyone gets 3 points.
The second highest tower then goes away empty-handed.

The player with the second highest tower receives 3 points otherwise.
If two players have the second-highest tower, then everyone gets 2 points.

In two-player game, however, only the highest towers are evaluated.

Whoever has the most points is the winner of the game and Tschakka Lakka's new favorite.

Small Conclusion
Tschakka Lakka is a nice game for the whole family. It has a high luck factor, but one can govern itself by stops just early enough to continue to roll the dice. But that's the attraction of the game. "I die again, or I collect the previously freely played treasures?" This question is one for each die roll through your mind and makes the game very exciting and entertaining. Here in any case children and adults with no advantages or disadvantages can play together. Slightly larger cube and a nicer raccoon Jones figure would have been nice. Us has certainly made the game a lot of fun.
