Dice game for 2 to 4 people

Conventional games have a playing surface, playing pieces and dice, as well as clearly defined rules. The playing pieces are usually distinguished by color. The playing fields are mostly marked with prints on which the playing pieces are then placed depending on the move. This means that such a game is only suitable for certain groups of people.

The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a new, interesting game that also gives severely visually impaired or blind people the opportunity to play or participate.

This problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim: an elongated playing field with only 12 holes, playing pieces with geometrically different heads and large dice with tactile eyes.

The invention enables visually impaired people to take part in the game. By inserting the game pieces, they can be easily felt even on the playing surface.

An example of how to do this is explained using figures 1 to 4. At the start of the game, each player receives the playing pieces designated for him {Fig. 3), whereby the number depends on the number of participants, with 4 players 3 playing pieces each, with 3 players 4 each, with 2 players 6 each, so always a total of 12 pieces of wood. The starting player rolls the 2 dice that come with the game {Fig. 4). If the result is good, a playing piece (4) (setting piece) is put into the hole (6) (2) (Fig. 2) that corresponds to the result. If the throw does not meet the player's expectations, the dice can be rolled two more times. The process is repeated for the second and following players, with the difference that there are fewer and fewer holes to choose from and a hole that is already occupied is no longer available for him. The player who achieves such a score in the third attempt must pass. A hole that is already occupied only counts for the player who takes possession of it with the points assigned to the hole (7). However, the player who is the first to roll a one on both dice must occupy hole 1. A bonus can be negotiated for this.

The game continues until a player has placed all of his playing pieces (placing blocks). Then the points are added up. A bonus can also be negotiated for the last move before the start of the game.
