Description

Calavera is a quick and simple game where 2 to 4 players try to accumulate as many crosses as possible on their block to score points. The game is all about rolling dice and making strategic decisions to maximize your points. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, it's a great game for a casual gathering or a fun break from more complex games. The twist in Calavera is that being too greedy can backfire, as players who enter the "death zone" risk losing points or even ending up with negative points. Designed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede and published in 2019, this game requires a combination of luck and strategy to win. Players need to balance their desire for more crosses with the risk of losing points, making for a thrilling and unpredictable experience.
