Fiese 15

Score your result or roll on?

Fiese 15 is game Nr. 2 in the new range of Roll & Play, all games of the series have the same design and components, the package doubles as dice tower. In Fiese 15 you find strips setting combinations of dice which add up to a total of 15 eyes. In turn, each player tries to implement such a strip with as many dice as he can manage for a high score.

19 of those 15 strips are drawn randomly and stacked with the side showing 5 dice facing upwards. Then the first strip is turned over and now shows 6 dice, each player now tries his luck with this strip You roll the dice and set aside as many valid dice as you can. Valid dice are dice showing the same number of eyes or less eyes than the die of the same color on the strip. Dice you could not set aside can be rerolled or you can note your score. Dice you already set aside cannot be rerolled. If the roll does not yield a single die that you could set aside – this also goes for a follow-up roll – you score the points of the dice on the strip that you could not match. And this is where tactics come in and also luck, because you might easily score more points by a roll that yields no valid die than by noting down the score of dice you set aside. If you manage to match 5 or 6 dice on the strip with your rolls, you score a bonus of +5 for 5 dice and x2 for 6 dice, but not both. After all 10 strips have been played you win with the highest score. The rules list a handicap variant and a gambler variant.

Fiese 15 is mean and surprisingly tactical for a dice game, again a well-made and well working game in the attractive series Roll & Play.
