Objective of the Game

ciúb is a strategic dice game where players aim to score the most points by cleverly forming numerical combinations on the dice and completing challenges. Each player tries to match their dice combinations with the cards laid out on the table to score points effectively.

Game Components

• Special ciúb dice
• Playing cards with point values and color codes
• Points and marker chips

Setup

1. Each player receives a set of dice in their chosen color.
2. The cards are shuffled and placed face down in the center.
3. Each player starts with a set number of point chips.
4. Players agree on a set number of victory points needed to win the game.
5. The player with the highest initial dice roll starts the game.

Gameplay

The game is played over several rounds, with players taking turns. Each round, the players perform the following phases:

1. Rolling the Dice

• The active player rolls all their dice once.
• The player may re-roll any number of dice up to two times to achieve an optimal combination.

2. Using the Cards

• The player can use their rolled dice combination to claim cards from the center.
• Each card has specific requirements of dice combinations that need to be met.
• If the requirement is met, the player takes the card and places it in front of them.
• Cards have varied point values, which count toward victory points at the end of the game.

3. Scoring and Marker Placement

• The player adds their newly acquired points to their total score.
• During the game, cards can be blocked using marker chips to make them harder for opponents to use.

Special Features

• Strategic Decisions: The game requires strategic decision-making around when to risk re-rolling the dice to claim better cards.
• Blocking Cards: Players can place markers to make it harder for others to reach certain cards, adding a layer of tactical complexity.

End of the Game

The game ends when a player reaches the pre-agreed number of victory points. A final round is played so all players have the same number of turns. The player with the most victory points wins the game.
