About the game
In Expedition Sumatra: Dadu Dadu, a dice game thematically based on Expedition Sumatra, several expeditions are being dispatched into the depth of a fantastic jungle world. The players roll their dice as long as it is possible to carry out at least one of four actions. Except from storing dice in the dock, the players can move through the jungle or cross the sea, discover rare animals, or explore different sites. After a certain number of rounds, the most successful expedition leader wins by scoring the highest amount of points. The game offers five scenarios differing somewhat in complexity, each with a different set of exotic animals and another habitat, different sites and slightly modified rules. The game will be released at Essen 2011 with a print run of about 200 copies. --- Expedition Sumatra Dadu Dadu schließt thematisch an seinen Vorgänger an, ist jedoch ein Würfelspiel. Die Schachtel enthält 5 unterschiedliche Szenarien, die zwar auf derselben Grundidee basieren, sich jedoch in den Details (Landschaften, Tiere, Orte) voneinander unterscheiden. Mit Hilfe von 6 Würfeln und einem farbigen Stift agiert der Spieler im jeweiligen Szenario solange, wie er eine Aktion ausführen kann d.h. über Land oder Wasser fahren, Tiere aufspüren, Orte erkunden oder zumindest 1 bis 2 Würfel zwischenlagern. Erst wenn keine Aktion mehr möglich ist oder alle Würfel genutzt worden sind, ist der nächste Spieler an der Reihe.
