Stack-a-Biddi

Stack to form lines

Build a stack, guided by dice, to form continuous lines! The game features eight blocks each in yellow, orange, blue and purple; each player uses one color and one BIDDI block each in red, blue, white and grey. Aim of the game for each player is to stack his blocks and BIDDIs to achieve a continuous line at the front of the stack. In the first round, the stack must have six levels; in each of six additional rounds, one level is added, so that in Round 7 the stack has twelve levels, made up of eight colored blocks and four BIDDIs, one block represents one level.

At the start of a round, four dice in the four BIDDI colors are rolled; their results indicate, for all players, the level in which the BIDDI of this color must be placed. If a die result is higher than the number of levels for the current round, this BIDDI is not placed. The dice must be re-rolled until at least three different results are achieved. In Round 7, dice must be re-rolled until there are four different results; you only reroll dice with the same result.

Then you build your stack of levels according to the round, using BIDDIs as indicated by the dice plus additional colored blocks; all blocks and BIDDIs can be rotated or turned any way. Whoever is done first, ends the round for all; stacks now score 1 point per correct level, the fastest player scores one additional point for each BIDDI facing him in correct orientation.

Simple, but definitely not easy - you must choose your colored blocks cleverly to avoid too risky balancing - better no BIDDI points for being fastest than scoring no points at all. Super family fun!
