Klick, Klick, Bäng!
Roll for life or money
Russian Roulette with a twist - with a die, that is! The six-sided dice represents the bullet and shows a cartridge on one side and empty areas on the other five sides. Money in the game is used in two different ways: Bid Bulletbucks as your capital for making bids and Klick-Bulletbucks for wins.
You begin with 12 notes as Bid Bulletbucks from the bank; money can never be changed during the game; Bid Bulletbucks are administrated secretly and have no value at the end; Klick Bulletbucks that you win must be administrated openly.
Minimum six rounds in the game comprise a Bid Phase and a Russian Roulette Phase. In the Bid Phase, each player left in the game must bid at least one not; if necessary, you must change Klick Bulletbucks back into Bid Bulletbucks; if you cannot do this, you are out of the game.
If you made the highest bid, you determine the active player, you can select yourself! The active player closes the chamber = Dice Cup with the Cap Disc, adds a Klick marker for the trigger at the other end of the cup, holds the cup between thumb and forefinger, shakes the cup and then opens the chamber: Empty side visible -> you get the total bid and marks it with the Klick marker. Cartridge -> You say Bäng! and are out of play, taking your money with you; the Klick marker goes into stock. If only one player is left, or all Klick markers are taken, you win with most money, even if you are dead.
Yet another and again very typical Henning Poehl game under the label of Schwarze Serie / Black Series: A more or less morbid topic, implemented wittily and attractively, featuring a bit of tactic and lots of luck; a nice filler game.
