Die geheimnisvolle Sternschnuppe

STAR RAYS on a clothes line

A little star has fallen from the sky and has lost its rays; players are giving them back. The little star is sitting on the clothes line; the rays are distributed by variety evenly among the players. There are rays in two different lengths and the long rays come in a variety with a metal ring and a variety without rings. In turn each player gives back one ray to the star; the first ray attached to the star must be one with a metal ring, because these rays are clicked directly onto the star; a star without a metal ring must be put on rays already clicked to the star or otherwise placed. When up to three rays fall off during your turn you must take them to your stock. When more than three rays tumble off you need to take those three that earn you the highest negative score. The remaining rays that tumbled off are taken out of the game. If you are first to click all your rays to the star or place them on it you win the game; to determine the runners-up you count the negative points: 1 long ray with a metal ring scores 1 negative point, 1 long ray without a ring 2 negative points and 1 short ray 3 negative points. If you are playing by yourself you try of course to improve your previous score.

The principle of the game is well-known and has been used first in Klickado, very efficiently but in an abstract way without a topic. This version turns it into a very beautiful game for children with a pretty story and indiscernible training of motor skills and hand-eye coordination. And also, the star looks very beautiful when it hangs from the clothes line with all its rays in place.
