pretty tricky!

A new variant for the range of the games using roll dice + mark results mechanisms. This game uses four dice - three blue ones and one red die - and a scoring sheet for each player, on which you must fill rows by crossing out slots in the row to score points. In a game of two players, every player must cross out the nine slots showing “2” on his sheet at the start of the game; in a game of four players, everybody crosses out the two slots marked with “4” on the sheet, again at the start of the game. The starting player also marks his sheet as required.

The sheet is split into halves; in the left half you cross out what you rolled yourself; in the right half you mark what other players roll. The active player rolls all four dice, forms two pairs - dice colors are irrelevant - and sums the pips on each pair. Then you cross out a slot in the appropriate rows in the left half of your sheet. All other players may form a pair using two of three blue dice and mark the result in the right half of the sheet.

If you cross out the last slot in a row on the left, you also cross out the “!” to score two points. You name the completed row and all players, including the active one, cross out one of the small circles for this row in the right sheet half. Completely marked rows on the right side score you a point for every player who has crossed out the “!” in this row, After 4, 5 o5 6 crossed-out “!” in case of 4, 3 or 2 players, the scores are added up.

An attractive version, which very nicely incorporates the markings of other players into your own scoring; you need to always keep an eye on what the others do mark to be able to profit.
