Los Banditos

About the game

What is Los Banditos?

Imagine Schotten Totten with dice: two bandits compete for "booty tiles" (with 1-3 victory points on them) with dice in 4 colors, which are placed in a bag. Four VP tiles are placed in the middle, the rest forms a stack. On their turn, players draw two dice and roll them. Like in Schotten Totten, they try to form poker-like formations of three dice, and they can claim a tile, even before the opponent has placed three dice on his side, if they can demonstrate that the tile is impossible for him to win. He then takes the tile and replaces it with a new one from the stack. First player to get 10 victory points wins. Part of the Schmidt Spiele Easy Play line.
