Take it or Leave it

Risk negative points or not?

One rolls the dice, all players take dice! How come? How does that work – well, very simply: You hold cards which you should implement and action cards which you can use. To implement a card you must place the dice that are pictured on the card onto the card, either with the exact color and number or to surpass or fall short of a given sum. On the cards only white and black dice are pictured, the dice themselves are black, white and red, red dice are joker dice.

One player rolls all dice in the tray; then in turn each player takes one die from the tray or passes. Before taking a die you can play an action card. Possible actions are: Reroll all or some dice, take two dice, change the result of a die or switch the numbers of one black and one white die. When all dice have been taken or when all players have passed, all players can implement one or several cards. To do so you place the necessary dice on the card(s), one die can only be used on one card. Completed cards are set aside for victory points. If you did take dice and cannot use them or if you use a joker die, you score negative points. Some of the action cards, too, can result in negative points. For the next round all players replenish their hand, before that you can discard one card, if you want to. When all have been starting player once, twice or three times the player with the highest score wins.

Take it or leave it is a fine little game for in-between or as a filler, with a double-chance-driven mechanism, by cards and dice, you must find a good balance between the risk of not being able to use a die and to play too cautiously.
