HOP!

throw a rainbow, get a cloud

 

In a book, we have discovered a realm in the skies and begin our ascension! The 3D board is assembled, cloud and bird markers are spread out around it and the Dare cards are stacked face-down. Players choose a pawn and receive balloons and betting markers accordingly.

The active player - the Hurler - chooses another player for his catcher or Skewerer, who places his elbow on the table und puts his index finger up. Then the Hurler draws a Dare card and selects, if necessary, other players for the roles of a helper, called Assister and/or an interferer, called Turbulator. Then the Hurler positions himself and throws - adhering to detailed rules - a rainbows on the index finger of the Skewerer, who can lift the elbow while the rainbow is in the air.

Players not involved in the throw bet on the outcome. When the Hurler is successful, his pawn advances by one level; Skewerer and Assister receive a cloud token. If you made a correct bet, you receive a dove marker, if you bet wrongly, you get a crow marker. When the Hurler failed, he loses a balloon; the Turbulator gets a cloud token and correct or incorrect bets again give you dove or crow tokens.

For three doves you advance one level, three crows cost you a balloon. If someone is out of balloons or has reached the final level, all add up the value of their level and their cloud tokens and you win with the highest total.

Unusual, very beautiful and featuring cute dares - the Turbulator waves, for instance, his hand in front of the Hurler’s eyes, the Skewerer must use his pinkie, the Hurler must catch the rainbow himself or must throw with eyes closed, acting on tips of the Assister.
