Game preparation:
The game board is placed in the middle of the table and the players are looking for a turtle in your favorite color from which they then put on the Floss (Start field). A quick mix the eggs cards (cards scrim) and placed face-down on their place in the game - to uncover the Supreme ever - and the dice to be made first player passed. Off you go!
Aim of the game:
Most eggs symbolically gathered to have.
How to play:
The active player takes the three dice and throws the first. He then decides based on the result, whether he wants to take a second dice. Like hereafter also the result, he can also roll the third die.
Note: the Gesamtergbnis the Würfelei must never exceed the 7!
But those who take risks rolls, will be rewarded with additional train wide!
The turtles are represented by the cubes - counter-clockwise - moves.
If it remains at a dice rolled, then the player may draw his turtle as many spaces forward, as the dice indicates.
Two dice thrown, the player draws his turtle to the common die roll by 2 forward.
With three dice, the result is even multiplied by 3!
Ex .: there was a 1, a 3 and a 1 still thrown, which means the player may prefer his turtle for 1 + 3 + 1 = 5 x 3 fields, ie by 15!
Should the union but the result of 7 exceed, the player has his pawn Reset on the Floss (no matter where it was before)!
The goal of the race is always the 21 field, the beach field to cross, only to receive the exposed eggs card! The player will take you to and covers the nights card.
Lands the player with his train on a field with one (or more) other turtle (s), he places his figurine on top of the other (s).
Is a player on the train whose turtle is in such a stack, he moves his character and all turtles standing over him forward together! The lower turtles remain on the field.
To make this is added, however, that the player whose turtle sits at the top, may determine, may with how many other cubes of the current players of this toad stack throw, / must - it should be in this case to a higher number than the 7 come, they must all Turtles above the active player with the raft!
And the top players is the one who gets the egg card when the 21 field is transgressed!
This results in many gorgeous and vulgar tactics to influence the race for their own benefit.
Full time:
As soon as the draw pile is depleted, still follows a walk around the 7 eggs printed on the box. The first player who gets this adds the 7 to its already collected eggs and the game ends. Now the player who was able to collect a total of the most eggs wins.
Variants:
In one of 2 or 3 game, each player takes 2 turtles, which are alternately pulled the cards but are collected together.
An alternative variant for the game with the dice is that the active player one of his cards, used in place of another cube to influence his Moving. This card comes but then out of the game, but makes as a 2nd or 3rd die for a corresponding multiplication!
Conclusion:
Mahé is not new, it is based on the predecessors "Kangaroo" (1974) and "The hot battle at the cold buffet" (1990), but has lost none of its charm.
And this new edition, with the theme of turtles is also opened especially cute.
The drawings and graphics are delightfully and the material quality beyond reproach.
The rounds run liquid, fast and entertaining, which may from time to time cause slight pauses when a brooder is just the optimum train thinks * G *.
The ways by the foreign transport but are also very playful and cleverly used, you can collect as many eggs fast and loose and the other belonging to the "fun" spoil :)!
Round makes the game even in its third edition a lot of fun and may all those who do not know the predecessor or they do not yet own, be highly recommended as a family game.
