Qwixx Das Duell

dice confrontation for two

The basic Qwixx rules also apply to Qwixx Das Duell - you roll dice and mark cases from left to right; but here you place your own markers on cases in the four color tracks of a joint score board.

Here, too, you can only place markers from left to right in consecutive order, in relation to your own markers, and may leave any number of gaps. There can always only be one marker per case and markers in cases cannot be ousted, with one exception: The marker furthest to the right in the row, regardless of its owner, can be ousted by an opposing marker. The owner of the rightmost piece in a track can also place a second marker on top and even add more markers; stacks of two or more markers cannot be ousted, only be overtaken.

The active player rolls all dice, adds the values of both white dice and can place a marker accordingly. Then he can, but need not, mark a case for a combination of one of the white dice and any color die. If you cannot or want not to do either, you place a marker into „Fehlwurf“.

If you have five or more markers in a row, you can close the row and block it for your opponent. In case of a fourth marker in Fehlwurf or when two rows are closes or when someone places his last marker, the game ends instantly and you score the rows - a maximum of twelve of your markers can score in a row - and subtract five points for each marker in Fehlwurf.

Well, Qwixx is a good game and Qwixx Das Duell is an equally good game, albeit different - the securing/ousting option sometimes might seem to force you to choose a combination, but this is the fun and challenge - can I roll the necessary number to secure my marker?
