Description
In the dice-rolling game Divvy Dice — first released as Man muss auch gönnen können ("You have to also grant others something") — players determine their own targets for what to roll by buying cards during the game to build their own score sheet.
All players are involved in the game because if the active player re-rolls their dice, then everyone else can use those results for themselves.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card drafting/selection — each player starts with four cards and keeps three; sets up on a 3x3 grid
- dice allocation and saving — you can save dice for later turns; opponents can steal saved dice
- Dice rolling — roll five dice each turn to determine actions or purchases
- diversification strategy — a balanced mix of victory point cards and bonus cards is recommended to maximize points
- endgame scoring and bonus cards — bonus cards modify scoring and purchases; end cards give victory points
- market board — top row contains victory point cards; bottom row bonus cards; purchases from market require dice
- risk/reward timing — two-die saves allow risky plays but open the door for opponents to intervene
- tile/grid placement — cards must be placed adjacent by edge or corner to form a 3x3 layout
- turn-based action economy — on each turn you may complete a card, purchase, or both; up to three rolls per turn
