Description

Buttons is a quick and clever dice game that's all about taking risks and getting lucky. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, 2 to 4 players can jump into a game in just 20 to 30 minutes. Designed by Benjamin Schwer and published in 2015, Buttons has become a favorite among fans of dice games. Players take turns rolling the dice and placing buttons on their board, but here's the twist - everyone can profit from the roll, not just the person rolling the dice. As the board fills up, the risk of losing your buttons grows, making it a thrilling challenge to know when to hold back and when to push your luck. The goal of the game is to collect sets of buttons and score stars, with each set of three buttons earning you a star on your player board. The game is played over several rounds, and the first player to collect twelve stars or five stars in a row wins. With its unique blend of dice rolling, set collection, and push-your-luck mechanics, Buttons is a game that's easy to learn but hard to master. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun and fast-paced game to play with friends, Buttons is a great choice. So gather some friends, grab some dice, and get ready to start collecting those buttons - but don't get too attached, or you might just lose them all.
