How To Play:
This is a roll the dice and write on your personal map game that can be played by any number of players – just print a map for each player and all players share the same dice roll for each round (excellent for play by video chat such as with Zoom or Google Meet).
There are two different base games – GREEN and YELLOW. Both have exactly the same base game but with different special “expansion” dice (which I have never used yet).

Overview Explanation of the base game – she includes the GOAL CARDS, but they are not needed to play the game, and the game can be more fun without them (less thinking) Note that even experts make mistakes – she missed one error in her example of scoring a final game:

Game Boy Geek (who is quite good at explaining and rating games) calls Biblios one of his all time favorites … and it only takes about 20 minutes to play the game (and not too much set up time either).

How To Play:
Keep rolling 14 dice until you bust or choose to stop. Four burnt popcorn icons and you bust (your turn is over and you get zero points). 30 points or more wins OR roll all 14 dice with a single or double pop icon to be an INSTANT WINNER regardless of your score!

Learn To Play – Jon Gets Games:
You likely already know how to play Yahtzee … so you then are ready for the super fun board and dice version, Showdown Yahtzee (one of the favorites for our Game Days).
For 2-4 players (best with 4). Instead of each player having their own Yahtzee score pad, there is just ONE and it is not a pad of paper, but individual large tiles that represent all the typical line items in the normal game of Yahtzee. Each player moves around a board and if you land on an empty square, you can try to get any of the available tiles and if you get it you take that tile and place it on the board on the square where your pawn is along with the stated amount of your chips. If your pawn lands on a square that already has a tile, if you can roll that, the tile becomes yours and you put your chips on it (if it was already yours, you just get a free turn to continue moving your pawn till you get to a spot that is wild or has a tile owned by another player). If you land on WILD, you can treat it as a blank square (try for any available tile) or as an occupied square (try to get it for your own).
I have FOUR boxes of this game (it really is that good). Someday it would be fun to have 16 people over for a Showdown Yahtzee tournament … 4 players at a table … the winner from each of the four tables then have a Showdown Showdown!
