Description

Pechvogel, which translates to Bad Luck Bird, is a delightfully mean-spirited dice game that's all about embracing the chaos. Designed by Peter Jürgensen and released in 2018, this quick-playing game is perfect for 2 to 5 players looking for a fun and lighthearted experience that can be learned in no time. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can easily fit in a game or two, and the simple rules make it accessible to everyone. The goal is to roll four identical numbers, but things can go awry quickly. If you throw three ravens, your turn is over and you'll receive a "frustration" token, which can actually be a blessing in disguise. These tokens can be used to reroll your dice or force another player to do the same, adding a delicious layer of strategy and sabotage to the game. And if that's not enough, you can even steal points from your opponents, making Pechvogel a thrilling game of dice rolling, push your luck, and take that mechanics. With its unique blend of luck and strategy, Pechvogel is sure to bring plenty of laughs and excitement to your game nights, so gather your friends and get ready to unleash your inner bad luck bird.
