Nichtlustig (2007)

About this game

Dice rolling game for 2-4 players age 10 and above, based on Joscha Sauer's dark humor cartoons. Contains 37 cards and 7 dice. Players roll combinations to collect and later secure cards, and thus victory points. However, other players and "Death" can steal cards that have not been made secure yet. Positive and negative special cards (including the 'poodle of death') also come into play.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
