Best with a difference of 1!

Close to the mark does not indicate a near miss here, but the aim of the game which is to be as close as possible to a desirable result, which is a number that only differs by one from an adjacent number already entered.

The game features five dice in five colors  red, blue, green, yellow and black; all players take a scoring sheet, select one of the five colors and mark the color on their scoring sheet; each player must select a different color. One player rolls all five dice, the result is valid for all players and is used by all of them: Every player for himself sums up the result value of the dice in his color plus the result value of any of the four other dice and enters the total into a free case of one of the two dice colors - only the dice color is important, you can select any row with a free case of that color. When two adjacent numbers in a row differ by one, you mark the small case between those numbers.

When all 25 colored cases a filled - each row has one case for each color, albeit in different order in each row - you score for marked in-between cases; there is also a separate table on the scoring sheet on which you mark one case in sequence for each 3, 4, 10 and/or 11 that you entered on your sheet, and mark two cases for each 2 and/or 12 that you entered. When you marked all possible cases for any such numbers, you score the number of points visible in the next free case in sequence in the table.

Very well made and really close to the mark in being very good! A simple game that is fun to play and ideally suited as a travel game due to being packed into a tin.
