PLAYED FOR YOU

Desperados of Dice Town

Escape and loot

You are a gang leader in Dice Town and must get your desperados out of jail who come in the guise of double-sided disks, on side for „in jail“ and one side for escaped. “In jail” shows different numbers indicating the difficulty for a break-out, the highest number points upwards at the start of the game.

In your turn you roll your dice up to three times. Each desperado symbol allows you actions for this desperado in combination with one action result each; if you rolled several action symbols you can split them between desperados. Thus, a roll of “The Lady” + “The Bad” + 2 action symbols can be used for one action for each of both characters or for two actions for one of them. The action for a desperado in prison is to turn his escape marker to the next-lowest number. When the keys have reached the top position he breaks out is reversed to the „escaped“ side. Now this desperado can relieve, as his action, the same desperado of another player, still in jail, of a sum of money.

„The Brain“ character has special abilities instead of this action. For three or four identical symbols or a roll without any action symbol you draw different numbers of cards. Those cards are played in the situation stated on the card, you can play several cards in one turn. If you go bankrupt, you are out of the game.

Should you manage to have all your desperados escape from jail and to be the richest player at that point, you win instantly.

This is not a game for cautious players! If you want to win you must take risks when rolling your dice and make clever use of your cards to achieve this and to make enough money- nothing goes without interaction.
