To be honest, I didn’t understand how to play properly. If it’s not too much trouble, could you explain?
A dice-and-write game for 2–5 players: luck gives you opportunities, but how you use them is up to you. · By
My friend.
I've already uploaded three short videos to my YouTube channel. The link is in the description of my game.
Let me explain.
You print out the game board. Five dice, a dice cup for rolling. Pen, eraser, pencil.
The goal of the game is to score the most points.
**School stage**
Each player gets three rolls.
While going through School, you need to collect at least three matching dice. For example, if you get three sixes, you write a zero in the column for the six-pip die. If I get four matching dice, I write +6. If I rolled five matching dice within my three rolls, I write +12 in the six-dice column. It's the same for the other dice values — I show it all on the video.
If I didn't roll anything matching, it's more advantageous for me to write -3 in the ones column. If I had rolled three ones in School, I'd write zero. And if I'd rolled five ones, I'd write +2.
After filling in all six categories in School, you tally the total. If the sum comes to at least +1, you get a +50 bonus.
Then comes the College stage.
You roll for combinations. I've laid it all out in detail in the game instructions. There are five bonuses. There's the Kolo Bonus, +50. There's the Absolute Order bonus, +50 — you need to roll both Small Order and Big Order in College. And so on.
Of course, there are a lot of nuances during play. There are basically five types of players:
- **Risky** — always pushing their luck
- **Adaptive** — constantly adjusting to the situation
- **Calculating** — has their own strategy
- **Cautious** — always playing it safe
- **Random** — just rolls whatever comes up, with no strategy or sense of proportion, and writes down whatever the dice give them
Again, I've dropped the link to my YouTube channel in the game's description. Of course, there's no precise, detailed description there yet — just a general, visual sense of the game.
My friend, I agree, I may have explained the rules a bit in a complicated way. But once you understand how to play, the game turns out to be very simple.
If anything is still unclear, just ask.
