Also known as Verflixxt!, this is a roll-and-move where the path shrinks as you play. Leave a tile alone and you collect it, good or bad, and guards sitting on tiles stop you from taking them until someone shifts them.
Who it's for
Family and party rounds of four or five who want a dice game with real decisions and plenty of schadenfreude.
Not for you if…
You want control or dislike being at the mercy of a single die. Bad rolls can force you onto the worst tile on the board, and a strategy-minded group will find the choices too few.
Vibe's take
Loud and teasing. Everyone watches the minus tiles like a hot potato, waiting for someone to be forced onto one.
