Game description
All players are sitting in a circle, casting two dices with a cup. The rules are simple. The highest number possible to be cast is 12. This person is Mäxle. = 1 and 2. With all other numbers, the highest number is automatically the Ten. Therefore, the lowest number is 31, and the highest number is 65. Only Mäxle can’t be outbid. For example, the first player casts 43. However, he has to lift the cup in a way so that the other players do not see the dices. Now he says the number and passes the cup and dices on to the next person. This person then has to outbid the number of the person before. He has only one attempt. However, if he does not believe the previous person and reveals the bluffer, either he or the bluffer receives a penalty point. The same happens if he is not able to outbid the previous number. The only exception is if one player insists on having cast a Mäxle. This number cannot be outbid and therefore the player receives two penalty points.
Judging
The winner is the player with the fewest penalty points.
