Pechvogel by Zoch – The jet-black dice game in which anything that can go wrong will go wrong

Zoch - January 2019

 

Bad luck! If you roll wrong in this game, you are a really unlucky fellow. It should be so easy to roll four identical numbers when throwing seven dice an almost infinite number of times. Child’s play, really. Even the more so, as you are allowed to keep all the dice that already display the correct number.

But once and again a black raven turns up and three of these feathered fellows mean tough luck: you receive little black marble token, called “Frustration”. These Frustrations indeed help to increase the level of frustration. On the one hand, you can use them to frustrate your fellow players in disposing of their correct dice-rolls. On the other hand, even reducing frustration causes your fellow players to be frustrated. The one, who continuously rolls the dice so that they leave the path to success, will lose. Pechvogel by Zoch is suitable for two to five players aged 8+. One game takes up to 20 minutes.
