PLAYED FOR YOU

Fundstücke

Bargains from bulky waste!

With different means of transport players try to acquire coveted items from bulky waste sites to fill customer orders. Quick transport means low load capacity and then there is the problem of guarding the steals you have stored at home?

You hold number cards of values Zero to Five; As many numbered contest chips as there are players (#1-4 in case of four players) are shuffled and randomly dealt to players.

Each round comprises three phases: 1) a new order card and new goods for the round are displayed. 2) you secretly choose a number card between Zero and Five and all reveal them simultaneously. When two players have chosen the same number, the player of those involved who holds the lowest contest chips can go to the waste site, but swaps his contest chips with the other player(s), following a strict procedure.  according to the rules. Now all players choose items in ascending order of their cards played; the Thief (0) steals from other players, all others from the waste site. Thief and all players allowed at the site can fill orders and take cards accordingly. The thief cannot choose Zero again next round, and all those at home cannot fill orders. Remember, television sets used to fill orders are worth more than just televisions sets. At the end of the round in which the last order card was played you add order and goods values and win with the highest total.

Fundstücke is a nice family game with some aggravation potential, and, remember, take only little but have it for sure is better than to arrive with the slow lorry and have nothing left to load. An ideal game for starting or ending an evening of games!
