Game of Games 2015: Hit games with friends

Ludix is a simple dice game with four dice that have Roman numerals . The game was developed by Niek Neuwahl in collaboration with the Swiss game museum (Le Musée Suisse du Jeu) and was published in 2014 by the Austrian game publisher Piatnik .

Style of play

The game material from Ludix consists of four six-sided game dice , which are equipped with the Roman numerals I, I, V, X, X and L instead of eyes .

When thrown, the dice numbers are combined to form correct Roman numerals. The picture shows the LVII = 57.

The Ludix game is a simple dice game that works on the principle of "push your luck". The other players roll the dice one after the other. The active player rolls all four dice and tries to use them to place a valid Roman number. If this succeeds, he can note the result and decide to roll again. If this roll also results in a valid number, he can continue to roll until he either decides to stop or is no longer able to form a valid number. If the latter happens, the player loses all points rolled in this round.

The first player to reach 300 points wins.
