History of Steckwürfeln

A small traditional dice game on a board with numbered holes and pegs - simple, old and still sold as a wooden pocket game.

A small wooden game

A board with numbered holes, loose pegs and two dice: games like this are made as small wooden pocket games and sold as simple dice games for children and adults. Several makers sell a version under their own names. The rules are very simple and were handed on by playing, so details differ - for example what a double six means, or whether everybody uses the same board.

This version

Steckwürfeln follows the usual rules: holes 2 to 12, one peg or two pegs per roll, the free holes as points. Double six, the number of rounds and the shared board are choices. The name and the drawings are our own.
