Keltis Ór (2012)

About this game

In Keltis Ór, players roll 3 dice that they can reroll once. Then they must choose one of 3 options: - Take the stones available on the dice - Take a token from one of the 5 available colors. This will allow the player to build ascending or descending paths as well as award a bonus (leprechaun, stone, clover, points) - Pass Players score in 4 different ways: - Path length: the longer, the better. Short paths score negative - Stones: the more, the better. Too few means a negative score - Leprechauns: +3 for majority, -3 for minority - Bonus points Keltis Ór is a fascinating game. Players have a lot of freedom: paths, colors, high or low, aggressive or peaceful, pace of the game, ways of scoring, etc. The dice will make sure that every game is different. No strategy is intrinsically better: good players will adapt their play to the current situation. Clever play is rewarded.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 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.
