Game sequence
The course of the game resembles the well-known "man, don't annoy you": Each player tries to bring his pöppel out of the starting house into play and to put it in the finish after passing through the field. The opposite players always play together as a team (blue/yellow and red/green). When joining, the first two and the last two players are automatically compiled to each team.
Maps
Instead of cubes, there are dog cards with which the poplars are moved. In the first round, all players receive six cards. In 2/3./4./5. There is one card less round, so 5/4/3/2 cards. After that it starts again with six cards etc. The starter changes clockwise in each round.
At the beginning of each round, each player must make one of his handcards to his partner. To do this, simply click the desired card on the left in the card display (1). As long as not all players have chosen, you can still correct the choice. In the player display (10), a star is displayed on the name, who has already made a choice.
Even though it should be self-evident: Any Languages during the game are prohibited!
There are blue cards and red special cards. With the blue number cards, the pairs are simply moved forward by the specified number.
In principle:
- The complete numerical value must always be moved, no points can fall.
- The pushers can only be moved forward (exception: the four card).
- occupied fields can be skipped, they are counted.
- The aim may be: not will be skipped!
- If the train ends on an occupied field, the poplar is beaten there - also his own!
To pull a pusher simply drag the desired card by drag & drop to the pusher, which should be moved with it. In the case of sticks close to each other, care should be taken to ensure that the pusher accepts a brighter color and the pulled card is shown to be reduced when you pull a card onto a pusher.
To get a pöppel from start to play, you need one of the two start cards with the small arrow:
If you play such a card, you can put a poplar from the starting house on the starting field. On own Starting field is protected: He can't be beaten or exchanged or overtaken there - even with his own pouch!
If you don't want to bring a pöppel into play, the cards can also be used for normal drawing. With the 13 you simply pull 13 fields forward, with the 11 you can either pull 11 or 1 field forward.
With the exchange card own Pöppel the place with a foreign Exchange Pöppel. It doesn't matter if the pusher belongs to the partner or opponent. Pöppel in the start house or in the finish not be exchanged! Pöppel are also taboo on their starting field.
The +/- Four is the only card to move a pusher backwards. Very practical, e.g., when a poppet is on its own starting field: you can then pull it back with the 4 and, if you have a matching card, then move forward into the house in the next round. When playing the card you get a selection on the field: you can then either get four fields forward or four fields move backwards.
With the seven you can get the points on different own Split the poplars. Thus, for example, two fields can be run with a pusher, with another four and with a third pusher another field. Very practical in the target to pick up the poplars. Here too, all seven points must be consumed! Exception: If you play the Seven to target your last Pöppel and then you still have points left, they may be used for the Pöppel des Partners (see Playde).
Another property of this card is the "burning" overhauled poplar: all poplars that are skipped with this card are "burned" and are sent back to the starting house - also their own!
The Joker can be converted into any card. For example, it can also be used as a start card.
To play the card, click on it. It opens a selection of cards that could be played. Click on the desired card and pull it as usual under the pusher.
Objective
If you have rounded the field (or have been able to pull back with the four) and approaching the goal, please note:
- You must on to target the starting field: So the starting field counts. You're right on the starting field, you can't go to the finish, but you have to run another round.
- You can only forward to the target.
- One has to go into the finish: a card should be played with which one can draw directly on one of the four (free) target fields, because even here no cube points may fall. In this case, the Pöppel not will be skipped! If necessary, these must only be raised. If you only have larger cards, you have to turn an honorary round.
Exemption
If a player can't move his billet, he'll have to hand all his cards and make the rest of the round.
Playing
As soon as a player has brought his four pairs home, he supports his partner with his cards. He moves as soon as he is on the line, whose poppet is now quite normal with his own cards. The game ends when a team has brought all eight pairs to the finish.
