How To Play with the Dice Gaming Console?

Players take turns. A player rolls the unidice during their turn. The unidice will display up to to 2 dice at once, which can differ in colors (black, green, red, blue) and value (D1-D6). The top side shows one available die, while the sides of the unidice represent the second die.
The player can now choose where they want to place their dice by doubletapping on the loot displayed on the 4 sides of the unidice or by tapping on their smartphone.

How To Play Los Banditos?

Loot chips: As you can see, the loot coins have different values. After a loot coin has been claimed, the unidice automatically draws a new loot coin until the game has ended.
Dice Limit: At most there can be 3 dice on each player side of a loot chip. If there are three dice on each side of a loot chip, it immediately goes to the player with the higher dice result ranking. If both players have the same dice combination, the player who finished theirs first wins the loot.
How to win: First player to get 10 victory points wins the game.

Actions

During their turn a player can decide to claim or abandon loot from the row. They can do so before or after rolling the dice.

Abandon: Regardless of the amount of dice the player has placed on a chip, they can also choose to abandon it. In that case, his opponent wins that loot.
Claim: To claim a loot, two conditions have to be met.
1. First the player must have three dice on their side of the chip.
2. Secondly, the opponent must be unable to form a better combination with three dice. If these conditions are fulfilled, a player can claim the loot. For the dice result ranking hierarchy, see below.
