Riese Grobian

Giant Ruffy envies the dwarves for their cleverness and want to take their gems away. But the dwarves run away and hide in a cave on the mountain top, to get there safely they use shortcuts and hideouts, but these get scarcer nearer to the top. In his turn a player rolls the die, moves a dwarf or gives the move away, relocates a shrub in case of a 2 or 5 and moves Ruffy, if the giant was rolled or no dwarf can move or dwarves are visible. If Ruffy meets a dwarf, he takes him prisoner, if he moves onto a shrub he discards the shrub. When the second dwarf is captured, all have lost. When four different dwarves have reached the cave, all have won.
