Knaster

… TotalLY thrilling!

Knaster follows Knister - again you try to fill a 5x5 grid on your sheet - this time the slots are green and the diagonals are again marked in darker color - with numbers to achieve scoring combinations in rows, columns and diagonals. The sheet also shows possible scoring combinations and scores for each correct, completely filled row, column or diagonal.

The active player rolls two dice, names the sum of both results and all players either enter this number into any free slot on their grid or may circle that number if it has already been entered. All further rounds are played in the same way. If you have completely filled a row, column or diagonal with numbers and have achieved a scoring result - three, four or five identical numbers, two doubles, Full House of triplet + double or a straight of five numbers - you immediately circle as many numbers as your sheet indicates for the result. If fewer numbers are not yet circled, you circle what’s possible. For a scoring result numbers need not be in correct sequence - 5-9-7-8-6 would be a correct straight. If someone has filled all 25 slots in the grid, all others can use one last roll and then you score the indicated number of points for each row, column or diagonal with circled numbers only and one point for each circled number in the grid.

In the solitaire version you try to top your own score - 50+ points are good, 80+ points are excellent and a score of more than 100 points is spectacular.

Just like Knister, Knaster provides simple and yet thrilling and challenging dice fun for any number of players, and remember, imitating your neighbor only results in a tie!
