Caramba

five red dice for the red pawn!

Each player has a set of six dice - the orange-colored die serves as a scoring marker on the scoring track board; the other five dice all show the same image on three black, two blue and one red side, each player has another image on his dice. There are also three pawns, one big one in black, a middle-sized one in blue and a small one in red.

All players roll all their dice simultaneously and try to achieve the same color on all five dice. You can set aside any number of dice and then again re-roll any number of dice as often as you want. If you manage five dice of the same color, you quickly take the pawn of the same color - it does not matter if the pawn is still in the middle of the table or already with another player. You can have more than one pawn at the same time. If you take the last pawn from the middle of the table, the round ends; you must indicate this by knocking three times on the table. Now you score points for owning pawns, one point for the black pawn, two points for the blue one and three points for the read pawn. Then a new round begins with all three pawns in the middle of the table.

If your orange-colored die reaches or passes 20, you win. When at the end of a round, several players move their die on or beyond 30, the player with most points wins.

Caramba is a quick, attractive game, ideal for a filler game or while travelling; the rules are explained in a minute and as quickly understood, the scoring is equally simple and the snatching of pawns from other players provide the thrill in this ideal holiday game for all the family; children younger than seven years can easily play, too.
