So ein Mist is a board game released in 2019 for 3–6 players, 15–20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Rüdiger Dorn and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck, Roll / Spin and Move, and Track Movement.
In So ein Mist, each player tries to get as much food for their animal as possible by moving their figure onto the cards with the coveted food. Each round, you may roll up to five dice, one after another, until you are satisfied with the result or roll the same number a second time — then you have to move your figure this number of steps. So ein Mist is a dice-rolling game in which players need to challenge their luck, but if you are too greedy, you can quickly step deep into the dung. The player who has the most points in the end wins. —description from the publisher
