Wanzen tanzen

Roll again and take a baby bug!

Each card shows two, three or four tasks that must be completed by rolling dice. These tasks can be poker combinations, e.g. Small or Big Straights, Triplets, Quadruplets, Full House made up from a double and a triplet or a result of more than 23 points on all dice or exactly 25 or 26 points from all dice or only even numbers or only uneven numbers or for instance exactly the numbers listed on some of the dice. For each game 15 cards are drawn from the shuffled stack of all cards. You roll all five dice, set aside any number of dice or can reroll all dice just rolled; after setting aside one or more dice you roll the remaining dice again and can again set aside dice or reroll for a baby bug and then set aside dice, and so on. If you have set aside all dice and can now complete a task on the current card you cover this completed task with a chip and can either stop your turn or roll again for the next task. If you must end your turn without achieving a task you take two baby bugs. If you complete the last task on a card you take the card, turn up the next card and end your turn. If you must take the 5^th baby bug, you take the top penalty card, end your turn and all players return all baby bugs. When all task cards or penalty cards are used up, you win with most points.

This is rolling dice using well-known standard mechanisms, but these have been very nicely re-mixed in Wanzen tanzen, the penalty bugs provide a cute aspect and that other players can give back all their bugs, even when they are already up to four of them, without penalty when you must take a penalty card is nicely annoying!
