Pechvogel (2018)

About this game

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong! Pechvogel (a.k.a. Bad Luck Bird) is a dice-chucking game with marble stone tokens that's just the right amount of mean. When it's your turn, you try to roll four identical numbers. However, if you throw three ravens, your turn is over and you receive only a marble stone token. These "frustrations" cost you a good chunk of points in the end but can be used in your advantage during the game. Pay them to reroll your dice or force another player to reroll theirs. Worst/best of all, everybody can also steal points from their favorite opponents. —user summary

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
