Dice4 (2007)

Pieces to be held The first and second players hold 10 reversible pieces of the same color, 5 pieces each. How to play The first player and the second player take turns to roll the dice. On your turn, you can either place your pieces on the squares with the same numbers as the dice you rolled, or move your pieces on the board. However, you can only move one piece diagonally. If you move a piece and it intercepts an opponent's piece, you can turn it over and use it as your piece, just like in Othello. The center square is a free space. Both players consider that their pieces are placed in this square, but they cannot use the Free Space to insert an opponent's piece and turn it over. Winning and losing The first player to line up four pieces in any direction (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) wins. If a player cannot place or move a piece in a square with the same number as the dice, he or she loses the game. For example, if all the pieces are placed in the square marked “1” and the dice rolls “1”, the player loses. The player loses the game even if five pieces are placed in a row. 【持ち駒】 裏表リバーシブルの駒10個を先手後手が５個づつ色を決めて駒を持ちます。 【プレーの仕方】 先手、後手順番にサイコロを振りプレーします。手番に出来ることは、振ったサイコロの目と同じ数字が書かれたマスの上に持ち駒を置くか、 盤上に置いてある自分の駒を動かします。ただし駒は前後左右斜に１マスしか動けません。 駒を動かして相手の駒を挟むとオセロのように裏返して自分の駒にできます。 中央のマスはFreeスペースです。お互いに自分の駒が置いてあるとみなしますが、Freeスペースを使って相手の駒を挟んで裏返すことはできません。 【勝敗】 縦横斜めどの方向でも早く4目並べた人が勝ちです。 サイコロの目と同じ数字にマスに駒を置いたり移動できない場合は負けになります。 たとえば「１」のマスに駒が全て置かれたいる時にダイスの目が「1」が出れば負けになります。 5目並んでも負けになります。 —description from the publisher
