Qwixx On Board

Move for bonus points

In Qwixx you mark as many numbers as possible in four color rows, from left to right, gaps are allowed, but remain! You use six dice in five colors - two are white - and a sheet with four color rows, showing numbers 2 to 12, ascending in rows red and yellow, descending in rows green and blue. There is also a board with a track of numbers on dice colors, with a bonus number underneath.

You roll all dice, add the white dice and all can, but need not, mark that number in one of the rows. In part II of the turn, the active player can, but need not, add one white die to any color die and mark the result in the color row of the die. If the active player does not mark in both parts of the turn, he must mark a failed roll.

If you have minimum five marks in a row, you can close the row by crossing out the last number plus the lock symbol - the corresponding color die is taken out of play.

New in Qwixx on Board is a third part of a turn - the active player may move his marker on the board over up to five free slots and must then either mark the number he reached or have that number marked already on his sheet.

The game ends with the 4^th failed roll of any player or the completion of two rows by any player or - new - the reaching of one of the five final slots on the board. All players add up the values for the number of markings in their row, failed rolls are -5 points each. The numbers under the positions reached on the board are bonus points.

A cute and clever extension of the core Qwixx mechanism, making the game more tactical; it remains however, as good and challenging as the original, again offering great replay value.
