OBJECT:
First player to advance three (3) pawns into his win zone
PLAY:
(the dice rolling for all practical purposes follows standard “yahtzee” format)Straights (Straße) A small (kleine) straight (4 dice in sequence) moves pawn three (3) spaces, a large (große) straight, moves pawn four (4) spaces.
Chance Total all dice. Total = 10 - 12 OR 23 - 25, move pawn three (3) spaces.
Total = 5 - 9 OR 26 - 30, move pawn four (4) spaces.
Player MUST choose one of these options to move a pawn. He may not combined them, i.e., small straight w/ a pair. 1, 2, 3, 4, 3. After the third roll, if player has no options to move a pawn, he forfeits his roll. Players do NOT need an exact count to move pawn back to its last line in his win zone. Excess moves are lost.
Pawns are neutral, regardless of their location on the board. A pawn in a player’s WINZONE can be moved out with the proper dice roll by his opponent.
Game ends immediately when either player has THREE pawns in his win zone.
