Hoppladi Hopplada! (2008)

About this game

Released at Essen 2008. Players roll 7 custom dice which show rabbits (points), sheds (multipliers) and carrots. They may keep dice for scoring and continue rolling the rest until they decide to stop and take the points or roll no rabbits and bust out. If a player can use all 7 dice for scoring he may keep re-rolling the rabbits for even more points. The next player, instead of starting over with all 7 dice, can decide to continue where the last player left off, with a higher risk of busting out but also a higher possible reward. The game ends when a player reaches the point limit.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 7.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
