## Description
Get your dice and your scorepad ready, because Einfach Genial: Das Würfelspiel is here to shake things up! This is a distant cousin of the famous Ingenious, but instead of pieces, we're rolling dice full of colorful symbols. The idea is simple: on your turn, you roll the dice and try to rack up as many points as possible for each symbol. But watch out: the score for each symbol depends on how many dice with that symbol are already on your opponents' tables! 

The game invites you to a dance of rolls, with up to three chances to improve your result. Is it worth risking one more roll for a killer combo, or is it better to secure the points you already have? That decision separates the winners from those who fell by the wayside. Each player has an individual track to mark their progress for each color, and the first to reach level 7 in all of them claims victory. 

And to make things more interesting, there are barriers on the scoring tracks. To overcome them, you need to have advanced in all colors. This forces players to play in a balanced way, without leaving any color behind. It's a quick game, ideal for those who enjoy a dose of luck with a sprinkle of strategy and a touch of 'push your luck'. Perfect for unwinding or for a quick match with friends who don't want complexity but enjoy a fun challenge.
