Dobbel

Dobbel is a strategy game that was released in 1991. It can be played by up to 4 players and runs on the DOS platform. The game was created and published by HVB Software in the Netherlands. The game language is almost entirely Dutch. This board game simulation features five dice and a playing card with numbers displayed on them. The player must throw the dice and add up the numbers to mark the subsequent number on the playing card. The numbers range from 1 to 30.
The action is repeated until all the numbers on the playing card have been marked. Each player gets to throw the dice five times in each round. The players must carefully select the dice to be played after each round to achieve the desired number on the playing card. They can either play certain dice or hold on to them for later use. If the same value is achieved all five times, the program auto-selects a random number on the playing card. The first one to mark all the numbers on the playing card is declared the winner. Dobbel features Simple and functional graphics typical of early 90s games, focusing on clarity and gameplay elements. It can be easily enjoyed with other people which made it a huge hit at parties and other gatherings in the early 90s. Dobbel delivers an engaging experience that requires both luck and strategic planning. It reflects the era's emphasis on innovative gameplay within the constraints of the available technology.
