Schraube Locker is a board game released in 2014 for 2–4 players, 25 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Christian Stöhr and Daniela Stöhr and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Dice Rolling.
Tactics, risk and luck of the dice all play a role in the dice/card game combination that is Schraube Locker. The cards indicate their specific value and the numbers that need to be rolled to claim them, therefore you need to roll precicely the required numbers. But beware not to overstep your mark. A complete circling and card sets bring additional points, and the player with the most points wins.
Schraube Locker supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Schraube Locker is 25 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Schraube Locker for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Schraube Locker has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
