Würfelwurst
Two more sausages or only 3 points for bugs!
The game comprises quails, bugs, wasps, worms, weasel and raccoon – according to the rules all of them are not very well liked – and therefore they do not want to be the utmost last, the sausage die or Würfelwurst! But don’t despise the sausage too much, because four sausages equal the jackpot!
Thus the introduction to a simple, funny dice game! Each of the four animal dies shows all six animals, two number dice show 2-3-4-5-sausage-sausage and two more dice show 2-3-4-5-5-sausage. Each player takes a chip for each animal. In your turn you roll all dice and set aside any number of dice, but at least one and you cannot reroll dice that already were set aside. After the last roll you choose one of the visible animals and multiply their number by the lowest number in the throw. You can score each animal only once and turn over the chip after scoring. If the black dice show one, two or three sausages after the last roll they have a value of 1 and are the lowest number, so you only score the number of animals x 1. But if the result shows four sausages, they have a value of 7 for multiplying the number of animals chosen. If you have the highest score after 6 rounds you win.
A pure game of luck, and yet some tactic is possible with your selection of what you set aside; I’d rather set aside the last number, the 4th Five, and score 2 worms for a total of 10 instead of setting aside the 3rd worm and you then roll a 2 with the last number die and you have a total of 6 points for 3 worms. The worm could fall again in the last roll and then you would have 15 points. Lots of fun with few rules!
