Katego (1990)

About this game

Katego is a dice game that is played over 11 rounds. Each round, players roll two dice and enter the total in one of 11 columns marked 2 to 12, choosing a different column each round. Each column is scored (for 2 to 12 points, as designated) by the player with the highest entry in that column. Columns with ties are not scored. The player with the highest score after 11 rounds wins. Originally published in New Tactical Games with Dice and Cards. Its English name is Catego.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
