POK

Bluff, Bet, outwit

You want to discard you playing pieces as quickly as possible by clever selection of a piece from your own set, corresponding to the demands of a dice roll.

All players hold an identical set of six pieces: Two blue discs, two green squares and two red triangles. Three dice show those symbols in different numbers: One die has two times each one blue disc, one green square and one red triangle and no blank sides. The second dice has once each two discs, two squares and two triangles and three blank sides; the third dice shows one each tree discs, three triangles and three squares as well as three blank sides.

Those dice are rolled for the round and determine the target result of the round; each player takes one piece from his set into his fist secretly. Then the taken pieces are revealed simultaneously and each die is scored individually; identical symbols are not summed - if one die shows one disc and the other two discs, there can be only two discs in the hands of players, not three! All players involved in the exact fulfilling of a die result, may discard their piece. If a result was met and someone selected a piece not visible on a die, he takes the piece back.   

If, however, no dice result was met, and you selected a piece not visible on a die, you can discard this piece. If all players selected a piece not visible on any of the dice, nobody can discard his piece. Whoever is first to have discarded five of his six pieces, wins.

Sophisticated, simple and good, combining luck, bluff and pinch of tactic and memory - who has already discarded what and cannot select it anymore to meet a result?
