Impact

Battle of Elements!

26 element dice carry various symbols and show one empty side. You are tasked with overthrowing dice within the Element cauldron to achieve identical results on several dice in order to take those dice out. In relation to the number of players you have 6 to 9 dice, one die is placed into the cauldron, any symbol side up. In your turn, you must throw one die into the cauldron; if then two or more dice show the same symbol, to take them all out and your turn passes. This is possible more than once – if two different symbols are in the cauldron more than once, you take all those dice, for instance to drops and three flashes. When all dice show different symbols, you can end your turn or throw in another die. If you stop, your die is lost. Before your throw, you can regroup dice in the cauldron and then try to throw the die in a way that changes dice values of dice in the cauldron. Dice showing the empty side are taken out of play immediately, independent of other symbols that were rolled. When, after a roll, no dice are left in the cauldron, the next player must throw all his remaining dice into the cauldron – if then dice show identical symbols, you take them; if not, you are out of the game. Dice that end up in a sloped position, are taken out, re-rolled outside the cauldron and placed into the cauldron before the completed throw is resolved. Whoever is last to have dice left, wins.

As new edition of Der große Wurf , the game is still a very felicitous mix of gambling, risk, tactic, aggravation, a bit of dexterity and lots of chance. Lots of fun to play from very simple means.
