Encore!

In Encore!, first published as Noch mal!, the dice determine which color and how many spaces you can mark off on your playing sheet — but the starting player may first evaluate what everyone’s doing, then remove two dice, leaving everyone else to make their choices with the dice that remain…

Players earn points by being the first to check off all boxes in a column, and all boxes of the same color. Players pick a combination of a Color die and a Number die, and check the respective boxes. Only boxes connected to other boxes can be checked.

Make sure to complete columns before other players do! the first to complete a column earns more points than those who complete them later. In addition to points for completed columns, a player can receive a bonus if they checked all the boxes of the same color. The game is over when a player has checked off all boxes of two colors, but you couldhave an Encore! by playing once more!
