Author Topic: SPIEL DOCH! expansion variant? (Read 986 times)

So, this is something I knew about for a few years at this point, but the time has come to question it. On the BGG page for SPIEL DOCH! miniexpansion from 2018 there is this variant included: you can use them to play the variant where the player who manages to place the two new tiles in the correct order immediately receives five extra points.
I could never find any reference to this anywhere else, so I have to question is this a real variant or just something the author of said description came up with on their own?

Any additional info on this? Maybe it could be included as a house rule on WICA - I have played with it few times and its fun.

I asked on CarcF for the source on this variant. The rules in the magazine didn't reflect the variant and the rules outline included on CarcF doesn't reflect the amount of points to be scored.

In any case, here you can find the variant now:

Great thanks! I am eager to learn the origin of this one.

Mystery solved!

The variant was provided by the magazine publisher in their newsletter and it is also available on their website:

Thank you @BigBoss for pointing this out...

WICA has been updated accordingly: expansion page, Order of Play and the Scoring Reference pages.
