PLAYED FOR YOU

SchuhBidu

Lots of dice for your shoe

Topic of the game is shoes, shoes of one color; because the theme is centipedes and they need to be elongated by the shoes. Players try to roll as many shoes as they can and to add them to their centipedes. You start the game with a head tile, the shoe tiles are sorted by color and length. You roll all dice and set aside any number of them, can roll up to three times and can re-roll dice already set aside and can also stop anytime if you are happy with an earlier result. The star on a die can be used as a joker for any color of your choice. When you are done with rolling the dice you add all colors of one die and take a tile with shoes of this color from stock that shows as many or less shoes that you did roll. You have free choice when evaluating your roll; you need no take the color that is present most often in the roll. If you cannot use the roll for any result that would fit a tile still available you are out of luck and cannot elongate the centipede. When the last tile has been placed, you will win with the longest centipede.

Older children can play a version which allows them to steal missing tiles. If you cannot take a tile from general stock o if you do not want to take a tile you may steal a tile from a player, where a valid tiles is situated exactly at the end of the centipede, but if and only if the tile is valid and fits the dice result.

Schuhbidu is a very simple dice game, but deceptively so, because it trains counting and understanding amounts surreptitiously and even allows a tiny amount of tactics in the choice of colors from the dice result.
