Nice idea - but the implementation?

"Why always me?" The title of this plain, simple dice game says it all. Involuntarily the question probably every player countless times during a game round. Not only because it is of course the title suggests, but because it's simply astonishing how much some players from happiness, others seem to be dogged by bad luck.

Opening the small cardboard box you will find a cubical wooden box having top six holes. In addition to the holes are the numbers one through six. Furthermore, there is a beautiful wooden cubes and forty-one wooden stick found in the package. The rule of the game is printed on the outer carton and simple yet understandable.

If you have the wooden sticks evenly to the players, the youngest player starts with the dice. According to the number rolled, he can put one of his fingers into the corresponding hole on the top of the box. Much to the annoyance of the players is the hole through just next to the number six and can also disappear the bar. All other bars protrude from the lid. The player can now roll the dice as long as he dares. Because he rolls one of the numbers between one and five for a second time, he needs to take back to be the appropriate staff. Willingness to take risks is required here, cowardice is not always punished, because the next player takes perhaps again one of the rods out of the lid, making room for the following dicer.

Finally, when one of the players has sunk all the chopsticks. A new game there is no obstacle, you fold the lid of the box aside and simply takes the chopsticks.

The simple dice game is entertaining, there is a lot of laughter and again surprising winner. Of course, the coincidence plays a major role, somewhat mitigated by the respective risk appetite to roll again and perhaps to even make a rod.

The requirements are low, children aged six and over can compete without any problems and to subscribe to the list of winners.

Sorry for the quality, the price is a little high, especially since the fast leading to fatigue game idea allows no more than two or three quick games. The most fun "Why always me?" with children, in a joint, comprehensive at least four players game round. Then there is a guarantee of laughter and great entertainment for a quarter of an hour.
