The regulars

Eight regulars, each with their own playing style, their own cheeky lines and a record against you. Strangers become best mates, close duels become rivalries.

  • Portrait of Sepp at the regulars’ table

    SeppGambler

    A regular for thirty years, always in the corner by the stove. Rolls as if there’s no tomorrow.

    Verliern tuat ma nia – ma gwinnt nur manchmoi später.You never lose – sometimes you just win later.

  • Portrait of Resi at the regulars’ table

    ResiCareful

    Waited tables for thirty years and saw everyone’s cards. Plays calmly and counts quietly.

    A guater Wirt merkt si ois – vor allem, wer no wos schuldig is.A good landlady remembers everything – especially who still owes her.

  • Portrait of Hias at the regulars’ table

    HiasBluffer

    Hunter and storyteller. His stories are rarely true – his calls even more rarely.

    Liegt da Nebel überm Wald, is da Bär ned weit. Oder a Kua.Fog over the forest means a bear is near. Or a cow.

  • Portrait of Ferdl at the regulars’ table

    FerdlUnlucky

    Retired postman. Knows every house number in town, but luck always loses his address.

    A Talisman hilft immer. Nur ned mir.A lucky charm always helps. Just never me.

  • Portrait of Gitti at the regulars’ table

    GittiGambler

    Runs the hair salon on the main square and hears everything first. Plays fast, laughs loud and bets it all.

    Wos ma beim Friseur hört, stimmt zu 80 Prozent. De andern 20 erfind i dazua.What you hear at the hairdresser is 80 percent true. I make up the other 20.

  • Portrait of Loisl at the regulars’ table

    LoislCareful

    Old farmer with a pipe and the patience of an ox. Says little, rolls deliberately and wins surprisingly often.

    Red wenig, würfel guat.Talk little, roll well.

  • Portrait of Vroni at the regulars’ table

    VroniBluffer

    Primary school teacher with a stern look over her glasses. Spots every fib – and fibs herself with an innocent face.

    Übung macht den Meister. Und du übst no.Practice makes perfect. And you’re still practising.

  • Portrait of Burgi at the regulars’ table

    BurgiUnlucky

    Baker, up at three every morning and still the last to leave at night. Bad luck sticks to her like dough.

    A Krapfen ohne Marmelad is wia a Wurf ohne Sechser.A doughnut without jam is like a roll without a six.

And every one of them remembers exactly how often you’ve beaten them.

What’s on the table

From a quick round of Little Max to a long evening of Schocken. You pick up the rules as you go – in your first game the regulars show you on the board.

A look inside

What’s waiting for you

  • Rumours and arch-enemies

    Win, and someone leans over with gossip about the others. Beat the person concerned and they have to admit what’s really true. Know all of a regular’s stories and they become your arch-enemy – a matter of honour, not a feud.

  • A village mystery

    “Who stole the maypole?” – over fourteen evenings the regulars tell a bit more, and you pin the clues to the board. The answer makes the village paper.

  • Dialect with subtitles

    The regulars talk the way they always have. Subtitles in English or German – or everything in plain English.

  • Beat me!

    Challenge friends to a duel with a link: the exact same dice for both. Who makes more of them?

  • Roll with your hand

    Hold the cup, shake, let go – and the dice tumble across the felt as if they were right in front of you.
