Daldøsa: Nordic Dice Game

Daldøsa is a quiet board game of long dice and pegs, played on the Scandinavian coast since around 1800. Two rows of pieces face each other on a ship-shaped board. Throw the dice, bring your pieces into play, send them round the ship and remove every enemy piece you land on. HOW IT PLAYS • Two four-sided long dice marked A (the dal, worth 1), II, III and IIII • A piece cannot move until a dal turns it: this is called dalling • Play the dice separately for two pieces or add them for one • End a move on an enemy piece to remove it; a dal-dal earns another throw • Remove every enemy piece to win, or turn on Quick ending for a shorter game PLAY YOUR WAY • Play the Fjord Spirit on Easy, Normal or Hard, at a calm, normal or fast pace • Pass and play: two players, one device • Learn to play: a guided first game explains each step • The Danish board with 16 pieces a side, or the Norwegian one with 12 • Move hints, the path of the selected piece, undo within your turn and a move log • Full rules with a route diagram, based on historical research into Danish daldøs QUIET AND UNHURRIED • Northern drums and drones, sea and wind, the sound of dice and wood, each with its own switch • Light vibration (can be turned off) • Statistics against the Fjord Spirit: win rate, streaks, pieces taken and lost • An unfinished game is saved and can be resumed • Works offline • In English, Русский, Español, Português, Deutsch and Français FREE TO PLAY Daldøsa is free and shows ads: a small banner on the menu, rules, statistics and settings screens (never during a game) and a short full-screen ad after every second finished game.
