Keltis: Das Würfelspiel

About this board game

Keltis: Das Würfelspiel is a dice game for 2–4 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. It recreates the Keltis gaming system with five dice, a shared game board, wishing stones, and wooden playing pieces.

On each turn, roll all five dice, then reroll any number of them once. After rolling, choose which of the board’s five tracks to use and advance one of your four playing pieces. Every decision balances immediate progress against the need to reach the more rewarding parts of the tracks.

The opening spaces on each track are worth negative points at the end of the game. To score well, you need to move your pieces far enough to escape these penalties and reach the sweet, victory-point-rich territory farther along the board.

• Roll all five dice and reroll any number once.
• Advance one of four playing pieces on one of five tracks.
• Collect wishing stones by rolling two wishing stone symbols or moving onto a wishing stone field.
• Gain or lose points according to the number of wishing stones collected.

Wishing stones add another layer to your scoring choices. They can be collected through the dice or by reaching specific spaces, and your final score is affected by how many you gather.

The game ends after a certain number of playing pieces reach the far fields of the tracks. The player with the most points wins. With its compact dice-driven turns and push toward increasingly valuable spaces, Keltis: Das Würfelspiel offers a focused race where every reroll can shape your route and final score.
