Game Contents
- 1 riddle wall (large game board)
- 1 ladder rungs to riches (narrow game board)
- 100 mosaic tiles
- 23 playing cards
- 1 sand timer
- 4 fortune hunters
- 1 set of instructions
Before Playing
Carefully press the 100 mosaic tiles from the tableaus. The tableaus should then be discarded.
Game Preparation for All Variations
Fold out the large game board (riddle wall) and place it in the center of the playing area.
Jumble the 100 mosaic tiles and lay them randomly, with the light-colored side up, on the riddle wall. The numbers should all read in the same direction.
Select any mosaic tile on the riddle wall, take it out and place it, light-colored side up, on the spider web in the lower right corner, creating a gap in the riddle wall.
Depending on the game variation, you will also need the ladder rungs to riches game board, the play figures, the playing cards and the sand timer.
Guidelines for All Game Variations
- To be able to read the numbers clearly, players can turn the riddle wall towards them when it's their turn.
- Several mosaic tiles have the same number. Players may choose any one of them.
- The mosaic tile on the spider web may be needed later on in the game. The player needing this tile takes it and places it on the riddle wall. He then selects another mosaic tile to place, light-colored side up, on the spider web thus ensuring there is a gap somewhere on the board.
Basic Game – Race Up the Rungs to Riches for 2 to 4 Players
Required Game Materials
- 1 riddle wall (large game board)
- 1 ladder rungs to riches (narrow game board)
- 100 mosaic tiles
- 23 playing cards
- 4 fortune hunter play figures
Game Preparation
See game preparation for all variations.
First place the rungs to riches next to the riddle wall. Each player chooses a fortune hunter and places it below the first rung to riches. Surplus fortune hunters are returned to the box.
Shuffle the 23 playing cards and place them face down next to the riddle wall. Each player draws three cards, holding them hidden in their hands. The rest of the cards remain next to the riddle wall in a face-down draw pile.
Let's Play!
The game proceeds clockwise. The youngest player begins.
Look at the gap in the riddle wall and calculate which number goes in the gap. You need to multiply the number at the top of the row with the number on the far left of the row.
Do you have a sum? Then look on the riddle wall for a mosaic tile with this number on it. Pick up this tile and turn it over to see if the color symbol on the back matches the color symbol on the gap of the game board.
Does the mosaic tile have the same color symbol as the riddle wall gap?
Super multiplying! You get to move your fortune hunter up one rung to riches. Lay the mosaic tile with the color symbol up in the gap you solved. Your turn is over.
The mosaic tile doesn't match the color symbol in the gap?
Bad luck! Replace the mosaic tile, light-colored side up, back in the gap you took it from. Your turn is over.
After each turn, check your playing cards. If one of the correctly multiplied numbers on the riddle wall matches a number on one of your playing cards, lay this card face up in front of you and move up another rung to riches! Each time you lay down a card, you need to draw a new card from the pile – as long as there are cards to draw from.
If the number on the new card you drew has already been solved on the riddle wall, you can lay this card in front of you too, moving up another rung to riches. Now draw another card.
Example
It is Anton's turn. The gap in the riddle wall has the number seven at the top of the row and number 5 on the far left. Anton multiplies the two numbers and arrives at the sum of 35. He finds a mosaic tile with the number 35, picks it up, turns it over and compares the color symbol on the back with the color symbol in the gap. He's right! He places the correctly multiplied mosaic tile, color symbol up, in the gap and moves his fortune hunter up one rung to riches.
Emil checks his playing cards and lays the card with the number 35 face up in front of him. He can now move his fortune hunter up one rung to riches. He then draws another card from the pile. The card shows the number 10. If the number 10 has not yet been correctly multiplied and turned over (color symbol up) on the riddle wall, he keeps this card in his hand.
The new gap on the riddle wall has number 4 at the top of the row and number 2 on the far left. It's Paula's turn. He turns the riddle wall towards him and begins to calculate.
End of the Game
When a player's fortune hunter has reached the top rung to riches, the round in progress is played to its end. If the fortune hunter stands alone at the top, then this player wins the game, gazing from the high platform, from where he can see over the riddle wall, on the glorious treasure that awaits him.
If, at the end of the round, two or more fortune hunters have reached the top platform on the rungs to riches, the player with the least number of matching cards laid out in front of him has won, for it was his exceptional mind for multiplying brought him to the top.
If there is still a tie, then all fortune hunters at the top win.
Game Variation – Multiplication-Sprint for 2 to 4 Experienced Fortune Hunters
Game Materials
- 1 riddle wall (large game board)
- 1 rungs to riches (narrow game board)
- 100 mosaic tiles
- 23 playing cards
- 1 sand timer
- 4 fortune hunters
Game Preparation
See game preparation for all variations, but do not take a mosaic tile from the riddle wall yet.
First place the rungs to riches next to the riddle wall. Each player chooses a fortune hunter and places it below the first rung to riches. Surplus fortune hunters are returned to the box.
Have the sand timer and playing cards at the ready.
Let's Play!
The game proceeds clockwise. The oldest player begins.
The player to your left takes a random mosaic tile from the riddle wall and places it, light-colored side up, on the spider web, immediately turning over the sand timer. Now, you do the math! Look at the gap in the riddle wall and multiply the two numbers, the one at the top of the row and the one on the far left, (see basic game) as quickly as possible. Got it? Then find the mosaic tile on the riddle wall with the corresponding number.
Take the mosaic tile from the riddle wall, turn it over and compare the color symbol on the back with the one in the gap.
Does the mosaic tile have the same color symbol as the riddle wall gap?
Great multiplying! Because you are playing under the pressure of a sand timer, allow your game-mates to move your fortune hunter up one rung to riches. Lay the mosaic tile, color symbol up, in the gap. If there is still sand in the timer, you can immediately attack the next multiplication task in the new gap.
The mosaic tile doesn't match the color symbol in the gap?
Bad luck! Lay the mosaic tile back where you found it. If there's still sand in the timer, you can try again.
You can continue looking for the mosaic tile as long as there is sand in timer. When the sand runs out a game-mate shouts, "Stop!" It makes no difference how often you miscalculate, you won't lose points. When the time is up, lay the mosaic tile on the spider web back on the gap in the riddle wall, with the light-colored side up.
Now, it is the next player's turn.
Note: When a fortune hunter reaches the top rung to riches, he begins again at the bottom, receiving a playing card to mark his achievement. Collect these cards face down in front of you.
End of the Game
When a fortune hunter has climbed the rungs to riches for the second time, receiving a second playing card, he continues playing until the sand timer has run out. The other players play the round in progress to the end.
Is there only one player with two playing cards? Then this player wins the game as well as the fantastic treasure on the other side of the riddle wall. If, at the end of the last round, two or more fortune hunters have two playing cards, the treasure goes to the one climbing the most rungs to riches during the last round.
If there is still a tie, then all fortune hunters at the top win, dividing the treasure among them.
Cooperative and/or Solo Variation for an Expedition Team or for a Lone Wolf Fortune Hunter
This variation only requires the riddle wall and mosaic tiles. The rungs to riches and playing cards will not be needed.
The objective is for you or your team to multiply your way through the entire riddle wall, using all mosaic tiles. If you like, you could clock your total time and try to beat it the next time around.
