DARUMA
Darumas are traditional Japanese dolls that are used as a reminder and motivation to fulfill your personal commitments. When you adquire a Daruma, you assign it a goal you want to achieve, paint the first pupil, and leave it in a visible place as a reminder. The second pupil is painted when you achieve your goal, as a sign and reminder of the tasks you have completed. The game box is shaped like a Daruma and you can use it as if it were one, with the pupil stickers included in the game, assigning it one of your purposes. Come on! We're sure you'll achieve it.
Daruma is a game for 2-5 players, very portable and perfect for any occasion. A bar, an airplane, anywhere is a good place to roll the dice on the lid of this pocket-sized game. These types of games are known as “push your luck” games, because in the game you decide whether to stick with the results you have or continue rolling the dice at the risk of losing your turn.
In the game, you will use the dice with a result of 1 to paint the eyes of the darumas on the table. Each time you paint an eye, you will be given an additional action to modify or re-roll the rest of your dice so that you can continue placing new eyes and chaining new actions. Each daruma completed with both pupils will earn you points at the end of the game, but be careful! Some of them can take points away from you. However, each die with a result of 4 will be blocked, and on the fourth 4, you will lose your turn. In Japanese tradition, 4 is the number of bad luck. Be careful and think carefully about when to stop.
At the beginning of the game, you will be given a secret objective indicating which darumas score you the most points and which ones score you negatively. Try to hide your objective or guess the objectives of the other players. This will allow you to know which darumas you should give them in order to be the one with the most points.
