What to Expect
Each round presents a dice challenge using six dice (e.g., certain combinations or sums). Players bid on how many rolls will be needed or drop out, creating two teams: bidders and doubters. Bidders then try to meet the challenge in the declared number of rolls; success scores for bidders, failure scores for doubters. The game lasts ten rounds with escalating points.
Who Is This Game For?
Biddle suits families and casual-to-enthusiast players who like interactive, quick games; minimum age is 8. With about 35 minutes per session it's suitable for game nights and shorter sessions. No deep experience is required—familiarity with dice mechanics helps.
How It Works
A round defines a target condition for six dice. Players take turns making a predictive bid on how many rolls are sufficient (Predictive Bid) or drop out. Once at least one player drops out, teams form: those who bid versus those who doubted (Team-Based Game). The bidders attempt to fulfil the condition with dice rolls (Dice Rolling) within the bided number of attempts; points are awarded to bidders or doubters accordingly. Ten rounds create a clear escalation through rising point values.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Carsten Rohlfs and Ralf zur Linde, Biddle mixes Dice Rolling with a Predictive Bid mechanic and instant team dynamics. The combination of bidding and team-based outcomes shapes tense, social decisions each round.
