Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Kribbeln, you roll six dice up to three times per round to complete various challenges on a scoresheet. After each roll, you can set aside dice and reroll others to maximize your score. The game includes six different scoresheets with challenges like color restrictions or number patterns. Successfully completing a challenge lets you record your points, with bonuses for the highest sums. Failing allows you to mark an 'X' or use a special escalating 'Kribbeln' line. The player with the highest total score after several rounds wins.
Who Is This Game For?
Kribbeln is suited for families and casual gamers aged 8 and up who enjoy quick dice games. With a 20-minute playtime, it's perfect for short sessions without complex setup. The rules are simple, but the push-your-luck element adds tactical decision-making. Prior experience with dice games like Yahtzee helps but is not required.
How It Works
The game combines Dice Rolling, Pattern Building, Push Your Luck, and Re-rolling and Locking mechanics. You roll up to three times, setting aside dice to meet the challenge requirements on your scoresheet. Meeting a challenge earns you points based on your ranking among players. If unsuccessful, you can mark a zero ('X') or fill an escalating 'Kribbeln' line. Scores accumulate over multiple rounds to determine the winner.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Thomas Sing and published by Ravensburger in 2016, Kribbeln offers a Roll-and-Write experience with colorful dice and varied scoring sheets. It stands out from classic dice games by integrating push-your-luck elements and strategic dice management.
