📖 About This Game
Dice game, played with 6 D12 of different colors, and some scoring sheets.
The starting player rolls the dice, and marks numbers off on their scoring sheet that correspond to the numbers rolled, the black die is wild. The other players can also use the black die rolled as wild. Then the next player rolls all the dice and the same thing, they use all the dice and the other players can use what was rolled on the black die as wild. When you start a dice line, after that, you can only go up from that number, or down. Players cannot go back to fill in a skipped number.
If they cannot or do not wish to use a die, they can mark a Ditlin, and reroll.
If they mark 3 numbers in the same line in a roll, they get a Heikai Bonus.
End game is triggered when the Heikai challenge is met (completed dice lines) varies by player count, or when a player has taken their 5th Ditlin. Players then calculate their scores with Bonuses and Ditlin penalties, the highest score wins.
