Hut game

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hut game is a simple dice game with a single dice for any number of players. The game was probably created in Germany at the end of the 19th century.

Beer coasters with the numbers 1 to 6 are used for the game, alternatively the numbers 1 to 6 are written with chalk directly on a wooden table for each player. In a game of six , however, six tokens with the numbers 1 to 6 are required for each player.

Style of play

The game of six is played with a single die.

The hut game can be played in different variations and was partly sold commercially.

Basic rules

In the standard variant of the game, five coasters with the numbers 1 to 5 are placed in a circle in the middle of a table, another beer mat with the number 6 forms the center. In addition, each player receives six game chips. The starting player is drawn and begins to roll the dice; As the starting player, he is only allowed to distribute a maximum of three chips, all subsequent players can place chips as long as possible. With the first throw, the player places a chip on the beer mat with the number thrown and rolls the dice again. From the second roll he can either roll a value with a chip on the beer mat or one with an empty lid. In the first case, the player must take the chip there and pass the dice on to the next player. In the second case, he can put a chip on the empty lid and continue to roll the dice. The 6 is an exception: if a player rolls a 6, he can always place a chip on the lid, all chips remain on the field until the end of the round. The winner of the round is the player who was able to hand over all chips first. Before the next round only the beer mat with the 6 is emptied and all players get six new chips in addition to the chips that are still in front of them. The new starting player is the player with the most chips. Often this worst player has to buy a round of drinks or make some other contribution before the next game round.

variants

For another variant of the hut game, the numbers 1 to 6 for each player are written in chalk directly in front of them on the gaming table. The game is played once in turn. If a player rolls a number, it is wiped away on the table in front of him. If he rolls the number again in the next round, he wipes away the corresponding number of his right and later also the left neighbor. If both his own number and that of the two neighbors are removed, he has to write it down again on himself. The winner is the player who first removed all numbers.

In a game of six , each player needs six tokens numbered from 1 to 6 (cardboard tiles or chips), these are placed in front of the player with the number facing up. Instead of removing the numbers, the tiles are turned over, otherwise the game corresponds to the hut game.

Other variants or offshoots of the game include the dice game Zeppelin with a zeppelin drawing as well as the spider and the Schluckhansel , which are played with two dice.
