How far will you push your luck? The higher you stack the dice, the more points you’ll score-but if you don’t roll high enough, it all comes crashing down.
What Is Sutakku?
Sutakku is a press-your-luck game for 1 or more players, all ages, and takes about 15 minutes to play. It retailed for $14.95, but unfortunately is out of print now; you can still find copies online, or you might get lucky and find it at a game store. (And, hey, if you can’t find a copy, you could actually play with regular 6-sided dice.) Despite the fact that it’s a game about stacking dice, it’s actually not a dexterity game-you could just as easily line up the dice in a row instead if you prefer. A note about the age rating: the box says “14+” but the rulesheet says “all ages,” so I’m guessing the box rating is simply for legal safety reasons: you can’t put lower ages unless it’s been through all the various safety testing. Suffice to say, the game is fairly simple to learn, so as long as your kid isn’t going to eat the dice, they could probably play.
