Daruma

About the game

What is Daruma?

Daruma is a dice Push-your-luck game where you will execute combos to obtain the maximum number of Darumas. In the game, the players take turns throwing 8 dice. And they should use '1' to fill the eyes of the darumas that are available over the game board. When a player fills an eye of a Daruma, execute the power of this card, giving the possibility to perform crazy combos for obtaining more darumas. If a player fills the second eye, the player receives the card to score at the end of the game. The turn finishes when a player cannot execute more dice or decide to pass; in that case, obtain all full-filled darumas. If the player has four dice with the number '4', the turn is over, and the player won't get anything. The player can gift their darumas to any other player to get back one dice per turn at any time. At the end of the game, every daruma gives you points. The player with more points is the winner. Pay attention because your favorite darumas give you more points. However, some of them could diminish your score a few.
