FLick dice instead of rolling them

The game comprises three dice and a wooden puck of one color for each player and nine target cardboard  discs in three different colors. Dice are flicked onto those discs in order to win the discs. At the start of the game any three discs are laid out, with a distance of about one dice width between them. Each player takes his dice and puts them as a tower on his puck. Those dice towers must have at least two disc width distance from the target discs.

The game is played over several rounds, in each round each player uses all three of his dice. In your turn you snip the top die in your tower and it stays where it ends up unless one of the following situations occurs: 1) Foul – the die rolls off the table or several dice fall of the tower or the die slides instead of rolling; the die always goes underneath the puck of its owner. 2) Targets, the die touches the center of a discs and wins the disc. The die goes underneath its puck. 3) Double – if the die and another die of the same color on the table form a double, the owner can take back one of them on the tower to flick again.

If you hit discs underneath opposing pucks, you take them. When all dice have been played, discs under your puck turn into discs you won. Discs from the middle showing a pip majority in a color are placed beneath the puck of this player. For a new round you replenish the discs in the middle to three. If you have won four discs, you win the game. Variants are listed.

A nice dexterity game with rules that sound complicated, but are easy to implement in play; the game is good fun and plays quickly – nice family entertainment as a filler.
