Zocken

What to Expect

In Zocken, you roll seven differently colored dice one by one and place them on a small board. The dice must be placed in ascending order, but not necessarily consecutively. If you can't place a die legally, it goes into a penalty area. Matching the color of the placement space grants bonus points. Other players can bet on your success, adding a social bluffing element.

Who Is This Game For?

Zocken suits families and casual players aged 10 and up who enjoy quick and simple dice games. Designed for 2 to 8 players, it takes about 50 minutes to play, making it ideal for game nights without requiring prior experience.

How It Works

You roll seven colored dice individually and place them on a small board in ascending order. The game combines Betting and Bluffing with Dice Rolling, meaning you must consider your own placements and the bets from other players. Placing dice on matching colored spots grants bonuses, while unplaceable dice result in penalties.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Peter Neugebauer and part of the 'Klein, aber oho!' series by Noris Spiele, Zocken uniquely blends Betting and Bluffing with Dice Rolling. Although it has no awards, it stands out for its fast gameplay and social interaction through betting.

Setting & Atmosphäre

Zocken features an abstract theme focused on rolling and tactically placing dice on a colored board, without a specific story or world.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus first on placing dice legally and observe how betting influences the game dynamics.
