Würfelgemüse

Plant salad or feed piglet

 

Vegetable farmer or pig breeder? Feed seedlings to the piglets or plant them in the fields?

Three dice each in red, green and yellow for tomatoes, salad and carrots are rolled. All players in turn select one die each until only one is left; in a game with three and four players, the last player gets one die less. Results are entered in columns corresponding to the chosen dice values, the first ones anywhere, further results only orthogonally adjacent to the same type of vegetable. If you cannot enter a result, you must feed the piglet as often as the die shows pips by crossing out circles. You can deliberately select an unenterable die to feed the piglet. Each completely crossed-out piglet row triggers a once-only option to change a dice result by +1 or -1. In the extended game, you can change the dice value or the color. For the die remaining in the middle you cross off a circle of this color (!)  in the market. When either one market or one garden or one piglet feed area are completely crossed out, you win at the end of the round with most points from vegetables  x market value ( minimum value 1 each), five points per completely filled garden rows your garden and points in relation to the number of completely crossed-out piglet rows. In the extended game at least one circle in a market must be crossed out for vegetables to score, and you score five points for each majority you achieve for tomatoes, carrots, salad or piglet. In case of a tie, all players in the tie score five points.

Würfelgemüse uses a nicely varied standard mechanism, resulting in an attractive family game, recommended for a filler or to take on holidays.
