Kniffel Jubiläums-Edition

INCLUDES Kniffel extreme

On occasion of the 40 Year Jubilee of this dice classic Schmidt published a limited Anniversary Edition, featuring bot Kniffel and Kniffel extreme in an elegant tin.

The basic mechanism of Kniffel is to roll dice to achieve combinations which you mark on your scoring sheet. Combinations are identical numbers and those known from Poker. For the first roll you use all five dice. Then you can re-roll any number of dice. After a maximum of three rolls you must mark the score on the sheet. If you, for instance have rolled two Fours and three Twos you can either score the Fours (8) or the Twos (6) or the three Twos as “Three of a Kind” (14) or a Full House (25). The score sheet has two parts, one for the numbers and one for the combinations of Three-of-a-Kind, Four-of-a-Kind, Full House, Small and Big Straight and Kniffel, which are five identical numbers. If you achieve more than one Kniffel during the game you can use them for a joker or for additional points. When you manage a score of at least 63 with the number part, you score a bonus of 35 points.

For Kniffel Extreme you roll 6 dice, one of them is a ten-sided die offering new choices and different probabilities. Three chips can be used for additional rolls, if you hand one in, you can roll a fourth time in your turn. When you cannot score a proper result, you must strike of a box on the score sheet. When the last box is marked you add up points and bonuses.

A nice and elegant new edition of a classic game! The box offers three more variants, among them a game called Treffer, by Rüder Dorn. All in all attractive and familiar fund for all the family!
