Strandgut

Sunglasses and a rubber duck

Flotsam and jetsam at the beach! In the version „Each on his own“ you want to be first to be out of cards. One tile begins the display and you put the wanderer on it. The remaining tiles are distributed evenly among players. You display four tiles from your face-down stack and take boats in relation to the number of players. The active player adds one of his open tiles to the tile with the wanderer, with correlating edges, and then puts the wanderer on the new tile. You can spend one of your boats to relocate the wanderer to another tile before adding your tile. When you cannot do either, you display one more tile from your stack. You may place more than one tile, but only next to the tile with the wanderer, who is then placed on any of the new tiles.

In the version “All together” all tiles must be placed; again, one tile is laid out and the wanderer placed on it; boats are stock for all, and tiles are evenly distributed. If you can place a tile, you must do so and can decide to put the wanderer on the new tile or leave him in place. If you can’t place a tile, you take a boat and may then relocate the wanderer, but not add a tile afterwards. If you can place more than one card, you can discard a boat. If someone must take a boat and there is none in stock, the game is lost for all.

Unmistakably a F-Hein game – elegant and very beautiful; the corresponding edges on the tiles are the central game element as usual; the distinguishing element is the way how they are combined into one image. Strandgut is especially nice – the cooperative version demands well-considered placement and keeping an eye on the boats.
