Knock 'n Roll

Knock ‘N Roll is an evolution of classic Yahtzee where you get to keep the all-time-loved dice rolling mechanic but really shake things up with many added features. After rolling the dice, players will place pawns on a shared board to earn points at the end of the game. While at it, they will knock out other players’ pawns, line up 3 pawns in a row for bonus points, receive extra dice and adapt different strategies each playthrough. They need not worry about bad dice rolls since an extra dice will get them right back on their feet next turn. The board offers plenty of room for everyone since players can place pawns on top of each other, but that doesn’t mean that they will stay there for long. The designer of this game is not responsible for any Knock ‘N Roll -feud that extends into the living room.

"A spectacular reimagining that revolutionizes an absolutely classic game, Knock N’ Roll really impresses with its simplicity and its understanding of its identity". (Judge of the TGC Dice Mitigation Contest)

"Yahtzee, that I can be GOOD at!"

Overview - Video (1:59 min):

Gameplay:

1. Roll all dice and reroll them up to 2 times.

2. Place a pawn on the board.

3. Knock out opponents’ pawns if possible.

IMPORTANT: The dice RESULT/COMBINATION will decide which row(s) you can place a pawn on, and the dice VALUES decide the column(s).

• Try the advanded variant in case you want more dice mitigation, or simply make your own house rules!

Knockouts:

Exapmle: A green pawn has just been placed. Another green pawn is already on the opposite side of the blue pawn. Therefore the blue pawn AND the red pawn are knocked out.

Scoring:

At the end of the game you get points for...

1. Your placed pawns, as shown on the board (the stars).

2. Pawns that you knocked out.

3. For lining up 3 pawns in a row.
