About Würfel Poker
Würfel Poker plays similarly to Knizia's Schotten Totten, except that players are making mini-poker hands based on die rolls instead of played cards. Each player has nine dice and three fields in which to place three dice, with those fields facing off against the opponent's fields. On a turn, a player rolls three dice, then commits one of those dice to one of their three fields; once a field has three dice in it, that field is full. Once all nine dice have played by both players, they compare the strengths of their die combinations in opposing fields. The best combination is a three-of-a-kind, with three 6s beating three 5s, which beats three 4s, and so on. The next best combination is a straight, followed by a pair, followed by a single die, with higher numbers beating low ones in each of these combinations, e.g, a combination of 5-5-2 beats 4-4-6. For each row won, the player receives 1 point. The first player to reach 5 points wins the game!
