Cinco

Roll groups of dragonS

The aim of the game sounds simple – you roll your dice to achieve groups of dragons. Not all dice are always visible to all players, so you never really know what groups have been formed. So you must bluff to win gold from other players.

Each player starts with 5 five gold pieces. The first player starts the game and rolls the dice with the help of the dice cup, the cup stays over the dice. He alone looks at the result – others should not be able to see it – and then moves the cup along to the next player and announces a number and colour of dragons. The other player can accept this offer. If he accepts he looks underneath the cup and must raise the offer. To do so he can reroll any number of dice – dice that are not rerolled become visible to the other players. Possible offers are 2-5 dragons of the same colour, the value rises from rot to orange to green to blue to purple and to black – two black dragons are higher than two red ones, but three red ones are higher than 2 black ones, and so on.

If you refuse the offer, you lift the cup and check the offer of your predecessor – the one you both that is in the wrong loses one gold piece to the treasure in the middle of the table. This ends the round.

If you roll 5 dragons of one colour the round ends as well. You take the treasure from the table and start a new round. Each player can roll each dice only once in a turn! If you are out of gold, the game ends and the player with the most gold wins. Cinco is a minimalistic version of Liar’s Dice, varied by loss of gold instead loss of dice and the reward for a valuable throw!
