About this game

Mahé is push-your-luck at its purest, with sea turtles racing home to lay their eggs on a distant island. Roll one, two or three dice, but the moment your total climbs past seven the whole move is wasted, so every extra die is a real gamble for real distance. Land on another turtle and you carry it forward, except now its owner decides how many dice you must risk. First across the line claims a prize card, and the turtle with the richest haul when the prizes run out wins. Simple rules, genuinely tense decisions, from a design legend.
