▪️ Clickety Clack, a game for 2-4 players from Ralf zur Linde, falls into the Qwixx category of dice games in which all players use the same pool of rolled dice, but the pool shrinks as the round progresses:
In Clickety Clack, you score points by making dice combinations that allow you to keep moving down scoring tracks. The farther you go, the harder it will be to write more numbers — and you're not even guaranteed to score a track!
To set up, each player uses the same side of their individual player board and you create a pool of 5/7/9 dice for a game with 2/3/4 players.
To start a round, the active player rolls all the dice, then chooses and removes one die from the pool and "clicks" it with another die still in the pool. They then write the sum of these dice in the leftmost open space of one of the five tracks on their player board, tracks that require constantly ascending or descending values, alternating even and odd values (without repetition), specified values, or values not written previously. (The back side of the player board has different placement conditions.)
If you can't write a value or don't want to, mark one of the "failed" spaces on your player board, then roll all of the dice in the pool and pick one that you rolled, clicking it with another die and marking something on your board, if possible.
After each player in turn has take two dice from the pool, whoever took the last die rolls all of the dice to start a new round. Once a player has failed four times, reached the end of two tracks, or reached the "finish line" of three tracks, the game ends after the current round.
You score the points listed under the final number you wrote in each row, but some of these spaces are worth zero points, so will you risk writing in them in the hope of marking one more space in the future?

To compare this title to another NSV release, you might consider Silver & Gold, with each player receiving individual cards that they mark based on what's flipped from a deck:
To set up, each player choose two of four random forest floor cards and places these cards in front of themselves. Shuffle the number and pattern decks separately.
On a turn, reveal the top number and pattern card, placing them side by side. Each player can then write the indicated number in spaces showing the indicated pattern. Jokers are in each deck, allowing you to write the number of your choice in the indicated pattern or vice versa. An anteater is also in each deck, and if an anteater is revealed, no one writes anything that turn, and you reveal new cards.
You start with four worker ants and can spend them to adjust the value of a number or let you write in any pattern you wish.
If you finish a task written on a forest floor card, such as surrounding a space or filling a line or section, you receive the indicated bonus, some combination of worker ants, honeydew, and the ability to mark indicated spaces.
After the number and pattern decks are empty, score points equal to your honeydew, then receive a new forest floor card. Do this again at the end of the second round, then after the third round score honeydew a third time, then score a trail on each card. To create a trail, mark a continuous line on each card through adjacent spaces with the numbers on this line being the same or one higher than the previous number; score points equal to the number of spaces covered.

The rules suggest that for your first game, you each take forest floor cards of particular types rather than two of four random cards since the deck contains nine(!) types of forest floor cards that earn task bonuses in different ways. After all, no sense overloading you with drafting choices when you have no idea of how the game will unfold.
You can also a new card to each deck — the aphid in one, the wasp in the other — to provide more worker ants (and a different way to use them) as well as a Cartographers-style "screw your neighbor" action of placing wasps in their forest.
