About the game
Get ready for a dice overload with '6'! This compact tin, styled like a mint tin, packs a collection of 15 dice and rules for six different mini-games. It's the kind of game that fits in your pocket and can liven up any gathering, whether with family or friends. Each of the six games has its own flavor, exploring mechanics like dice rolling, dexterity, bluffing, and even a bit of math. We have 'Airstrike', where you need to position dice to ensure your bombers make it home; 'Dicey Winks', a challenge of aim and touch to hit the target and knock out opponents' dice; 'Foiled', a dueling contest with bluffing and strategy to push your rival off the piste; 'Slipstream', an exciting race where turn order depends on your current score, requiring risk management; 'Triangles', a bidding game to identify and exploit the highest-value triangle; and 'Wrestle', focused on trapping your opponent and preventing their escape. With games lasting from 5 to 15 minutes and a super light weight (1 out of 5), '6' is perfect for anyone wanting something quick, fun, and requiring no lengthy rulebook study. It's pure dice-based fun, with the potential for lots of laughter and a bit of frustration when luck isn't on your side!
