Game Idea
Wooden pieces in 6 colors and shapes are placed in a circle and will gradually be taken up. When a color or a shape has been completely removed, points are awarded to everyone who possesses one or more of it.
Younger players may prefer to play with the 25 picture tiles instead. The rules are the same, but the game is more concise and shorter.
Goal
By skillfully moving the game figure, each player tries to take the wooden pieces or picture tiles that bring the most points.
Preparation
Depending on the age of the players, decide if you want to play with the 36 wooden pieces, or with the 25 picture tiles. The other pieces are not needed in either case.
The 36 wooden pieces or 25 picture tiles are mixed up and laid out in a circle.
The game figure is placed on any of the wooden pieces or picture tiles.
The 36 (or 25, respectively) small gold coins, and the large gold coin are placed in the center of the circle.
Game Play
The youngest player begins. The players take turns successively in clockwise order.
At a player's turn, he or she moves the game figure forward either one, two or three places clockwise along the circle. The player then takes the wooden piece that the game figure is standing over and places it in front of him so it is visible to all players. The game figure remains in the empty space.
Scoring
Basic Scoring
When a player takes the last piece of a color (e.g. yellow) or the last of a shape (e.g. triangle), the game is interrupted and scoring takes place. Every player who has a piece of this color or shape in front of them receives a small gold coin for each of these pieces.
When playing with the picture tiles, scoring is based on the colors or animals. (with only 5 gold coins)
Double Scoring
If the taken piece is the last one of a color and shape, there is a double scoring: 6 (or 5) small coins for the appropriate color and 6 (or 5) for the appropriate shape (or animal) are distributed.
Game End and Winner
The game ends if all 36 (or 25) small coins are distributed. The player with most coins wins.
If there are only 6 (5) small coins left and at the end of the game a double scoring is triggered, a player exchanges 6 (5) of their small coins for the large coin, which counts as 6 (5) points. Thus, there will be enough small coins available for the last scoring. Otherwise, the large coin is not needed.
