The game

Game sequence

Cubes and Select

The active player dice with all 6 dice. Then he selects a combination of 1 color cubes and 1 number cubes, and accordingly ticks boxes on his field. These two cubes are then removed.

All other players may choose a combination (color and number cubes) only from the 4 remaining cubes and also cross corresponding boxes in their field.

(exception: In the first 3 litters of the game, each player may choose a combination from all thrown dice)

Pass

A player can always freely decide whether to use a cube to tick boxes or not.

Crosses

All possible starting fields of the selected cube combination that are valid according to the rules are always marked by a white frame.

These fields are compliant and can be crossed.

The following rules apply:

1. All crosses must always be placed in a colour block of the selected color.
2. Crosses may only be set horizontally or vertically adjacent to at least one already crossed box or starting in the starting column.
3. It is not allowed to cross fewer or more boxes than the number cube indicates.
4. A color block of several boxes does not have to be completely filled in a throw.
5. There can never be more than 5 boxes crossed in a litter.
6. In a litter, the dice eyes must not be divided into two different color blocks of the same color box.
7. The question marks on the cubes are jokers and can be used as desired.

Joker:

For each Joker symbol that a player chooses, 1 exclamation mark is deleted from it.

If he has no more exclamation marks, he can't use any Joker symbols anymore.

Value

Whenever a player manages to complete a column with crosses, he receives the specified points below this column. All following players can only reach the lower score for this column, this is always available to all players.

Filling multiple players in the same throw first the same column, so all these players get the top score.

If a player is the first to cross all fields of a color, he will receive 5 points in the corresponding color. All other players can only reach 3 bonus points in this color. These 3 bonus points can get all players. Here, too: If several players cross all fields of one color in the same throw, all these players will receive the 5 points.

Each uncrossed star counts 2 minus points for playing.

The division of the scores and the total amount can be viewed at any time by touching (with the mouse over) the player names.

Playing

The game ends immediately after the throw in which a player has received his second color bonus (the value does not matter). If this is the active player, all other players may, as usual, form and enter a combination from the remaining 4 dice.

Of course, the player has the most points. At the same time, the one with less used Jokern wins.
