Game Objective
Try to be the first player to spot which shape or colour appears the most and be the first to get rid of all your dice!
Set Up
Place the sand timer in the center of the table and divide all the dice equally between the players.
| Number of players | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dice per player | 6 | 4 | 3 |
Play & Adapt
To start a round, all players simultaneously roll all their dice in the center of the table.
After rolling, all players compete to be the first to spot the shape or the colour that appears the most. The first player to call out a shape or a colour must flip the sand timer.
All other players now have 10 seconds to try and find a shape or a colour that appears even more times.
Example, as printed: the illustration is captioned "FLOWERS" and circles the dice showing flower symbols.
When the 10 seconds are up, all players together check who was correct. In case of a tied answer, the first player to have called out a winning shape or colour, wins the round.
After this, every player collects the amount of dice they rolled before.
It doesn't matter which ones they pick up. The winner of the round now takes one of their dice out of the game and another round can start. And so on... until a player gets rid of all their dice.
The printed sheet marks the adaptability icon as "a game element that helps to boost your adaptability"; the icon appears beside the Play & Adapt heading and the TAKAMACHI! rule.
TAKAMACHI!
During a round, any of the players might spot 2 identical shapes in the same colour.
In this case, the first player to yell "TAKAMACHI" immediately wins the round. This can be any player, so also a player who already announced a colour or shape earlier in the round.
The printed sheet illustrates this with three example groups of dice, each showing two identical shapes in the same colour, and the call-out "TAKAMACHI".
End of the Game - The Winner!
The first player to get rid of all their dice wins the game!
