Schotten Rennen

Highland Games with Dice

The Scottish Highland Games are well-known, the strong man in their Tartan skirts excel in rolling barrels or hurling stones. Now we can also try our hand in all those events, assisted by dice. Depending on the version the necessary path tiles are laid out between start and finish, the markers and Scots cubes of all players begin the game at the start card. The track must be mastered card by card; the red number in the middle of a card determines the necessary dice result.

In your turn you roll two dice - if you manage to achieve the necessary number of pips, you have mastered the event and move your marker onto this card. Now you can decide if you want to accept the challenge of the next card and roll again or if you finish your turn. If you do finish your turn, your Scots cube is moved up to join your marker and thus secures your position. If you fail to master a card, you must put your mover back to the Scots cube. If you discard one of your three risk markers, you have another chance to master the event by rolling the risk die. If you are in last position and manage to master five event cards in a row you may secure this position and go on playing regularly. In the expert version special expert cards are introduced into the track; those special cards make the tasks harder, but also bring advantages like winning back a risk marker.
