Krabcek

 

The board is laid out from 16 tiles, thus it is different every time, but always a labyrinth. Each player has 7 pieces, 4 thin, one middle one and one big one. Each one can only move along lanes that are wide enough. Aim of the game is either to make a Krabcek from the big, the middle and one thin piece on top, or to block the opponent so that he cannot move. Pieces are brought into play via marked gates, in his move a player rolls the die and moves one piece accordingly along fitting lanes, only over free squares, at the end of the board one moves out and comes in via the opposite side. For a 6 one can switch two pieces, for a 5 one can move a piece from a gate to a gate of the contrasting colour.
