Käse würfeln

More Cheese, more points

Collect cheese with dice! The game features 38 cheese tiles, showing numbers 2-6, and 16 cheese pieces of value 1, showing a cheese cover at the back. There are also 7 bonus tiles, 5 gift tiles and 8 standard dice.

You roll those eight dice, set aside any number of dice after each roll and can re-roll dice previously set aside. After a maximum of four rolls you check if you can take cheese: You get cheese if a number of dice equal to the number on a cheese tile show this number: For four dice showing a "4" you get a #4 cheese tile. As you roll a total of eight dice, you might get more than one cheese tile in a turn. Instead of the tile you won you can take one of lower value, which is important when there is none of proper value left. With a cheese tile you either begin a new stack or can add it to a stack, if it is of lower value than the top cheese tile in the stack. Instead from the middle you can take suitable cheese tiles also from your neighbor, either a single tile or the top one from a stack. If turn a #1 tile over to the cover side and put it on a stack, this stack is closed and safe. You may keep up to two #1 tiles for later use, showing the mouse side. For some stacks you can win bonuses. If you cannot take cheese you get a gift tile, which can be used later to change a dice value. When three tile stacks are empty you score each stack: Highest value in the stack x number of tiles and win with the highest total from points and bonuses.

Not bad cheese at all, this rolling for cheese, but cute and fast - dice rolling is always thrilling and the question of securing or not, stealing or not offers best family entertainment.
