Spookies

Mutprobe mit Würfeln

A test of courage for four friends and their dog – they want to cross all levels of the house and go all the way to the top, that is, dice themselves up, and collect Spookies.

All friends and the dog start at the garden gate. The active player rolls the Friends die for the character that is moved, the question mark gives you free choice. Then you roll number dice – for a step forward you need to reach minimum the number of the target spot, but can only use the two highest dice results to achieve it. You decide if you want to use two, three or four dice for your roll – the fewer dice you use the more Spookies you earn if you succeed. If you managed the necessary number, you receive Spookies as marked next to the spot, face-down, and decide if you continue or stop. If you stop, you keep the Spookies. If you continue, you use the same character as in the first turn. If you fail to achieve the necessary result, you put the character on the result you achieved with the two highest dice and pay one Spookie penalty for each spot the character moves downwards. Those Spookies are placed on the spot that the character vacated and whoever manages to reach this spot with two dice, gets those Spookies, too. When all Spookies have been given out, you win with the highest total on your Spookies.

Spookies is one of the three games released by Haba to go back to the range of family games again, and it is a good game! Spookies is a simple dice game using the stop/go on dilemma mechanism; free choice of the number of dice to use adds additional thrill and tactic. An attractive game for beginners.
