It takes a good bit of luck and some mathematical strategy to be proficient at it, perfect for a drinking game if you’re the sober one! Find out more about Sutakku on their official website or by liking them on Facebook. The Apple iPad Runner-Up Game of The Year, IGN Puzzle Game of The Year, and one of Time Magazines Top 25 iPad Apps. Ultimately we found Sutakku to be a great party game with good replay value. What do all of these mean? You’ll have to buy the game for yourself to find out! Lastly, there are some bonus points awarded for certain achievements such as “The Rule of 5”, “The Rule of 6”, “The Tower of 12” and “The Stonecutter’s Folly”. Play continues on with a fresh stack for the next player. If you elect to stop your turn before your roll, you add up the number of dice in the stack and multiply it by the face value of the top die for your score. If you roll something that cannot be played (for instance you roll all 2’s and your top die is a 4), then you bust and receive no points. There is no penalty for knocking the stack over, but be sure to take mental note of your dice so you can recreate it if necessary. It also triggers a special rule allowing you to add the third die to the stack if it is playable and you choose to do so. Obviously rolling pairs gives you great advantages as you can in theory stack them up forever if you consistently roll the same numbers. You can only stack numbers equal to or greater than the number below it. You must stack them in numeric order with the lowest going first (don’t worry, there is a handy key in the instructions to help you make heads or tails of the Japanese characters). Then you must decide which TWO dice you are going to add to the stack. During each turn you grab three dice and roll them. Like all Anno Domini sets, this game can be played as a standalone or. Each round you’re trying to create the tallest stack of dice among the other players. Anno Domini: Gesundheit contains historical events related to health, medicine, etc. The game is played in rounds and the player with the highest score after five rounds is declared the winner. We spent the better part of an evening trying it out – over and over and over again!
Once we got it home we realized the portable nature of the game (which consists of only a bag of custom dice, a scoresheet pad and a cardboard playing field) was perfect for our annual trip south for the holidays. We did get a brief introduction to game play at the booth, but among the noise and crowd it was difficult to really digest in a short period of time.
In 2012 we picked up a copy of an unassuming dice game called Sutakku.
One of the great things about the Chicago Toy & Game Fair is you get to see and try out games that you won’t find in your local Walmart or Target.
