Mountain Dice

Mountain Dice is a 1 to 4 players dice game where you roll dice and combine them by adding or multiplying 2 dice out of 3 to climb up your way to the top of the moutain. The first player to complete his Mountain wins.

Preparation

• Each player chooses a color and take all the components of that color (cubes, disks, meeples and dice).
• Meeples are placed on the boxes 1, 16, 25 and 36.
• The board is placed in the middle of the table and players sits in front of their color.
• Players roll dice simultaneously each round.

Basic Rules (4 player games)

• Roll 2 dice
• Place them in the grey squares on your left)

• Choose 2 out of 3 dice. As a third dice, use the one on the right side of the board inline with yours.

• Choose an operation to add (+) or to multiply (x) with the selected dice. In this example possible combinations are:
  • 2X2 = 4
  • 2+2 = 4
  • 2X1 = 1
  • 3+1 = 3
• Place a token (cube or disk) on the space corresponding to the score obtained.

How to place a token on the Mountain

• Start by filling the pale triangles at the base of the mountain (4, 5, 7and 8).
• To place a token a pale triangle on an upper level, the 2 pale triangles on the lower level must be occupied. For example, 4 and 5 must be occupied to place a token on triangle 9.
• To place a token on a dark triangle, the 2 adjacent triangles must be occupied. For Example: Triangles 4 and 5 must be occupied before placing a token on triangle 20.

The Bonus Boxes

If you roll a 1, 16, 25 or 36, then remove the meeple and place it on a triangle of your choice in the Mountain, provided that the token is placed on a valid triangle.

How to win

The first player to complete the Mountain wins. In case of a tie, the player with the most bonus boxes left wins. Otherwise, it is a tie.
