About the game
What you do in a play session
In Perlentaucher: Das Otter Würfelspiel, you take on the role of a super brave otter, diving deep in search of precious treasures. This is a 'push your luck' dice game that puts you in tense decision-making situations every round. On your turn, you can make up to four dives, and with each one, you go deeper, where treasures are more valuable, but the risk also increases! After each successful dive, the question is: will you secure the points you've already collected, or will you risk it and dive even deeper, hoping to find something even better? The problem is, the deeper you go, the less air you have. If you run out of oxygen before you decide to stop, all the points you collected that turn are gone! To spice things up, Dive Cards can appear, bringing unexpected twists and changing the dynamic of each attempt. The big question is: how deep do you dare to go in pursuit of fortune?
