Tricky Wave

Turtles make their way to the open sea

Turtle families are wandering from the beach towards the open sea! Each player has a family of three turtles, who begin in a queue at the beach - small baby in front, then the medium-sized mum and big granddad is last in line.

You roll the die: If the result is a number, you move one of your turtles by as many water slots towards the ocean. As the last step in the move, the turtle can jump on top of a smaller one, your own or an opposing, and cover this turtle and then take it along in the next turn or move off it as first step in the next turn. The same goes for jumping on a bigger turtle and being carried along or jumping down again. In both cases, you can roll again. You can also jump on top of Tricky Wave to be carried along or move across the wave, it counts as one water slot. On each slot, several turtles can stand next to each other.

If you rolled Tricky Wave, the wave moves by one water slot towards the beach, thereby pushing turtles on this slot nearer to the beach; turtles on the wave are then one slot nearer to the beach, too . When Tricky Wave reaches the last water slot next to the beach, she pushes turtles on it and also those on top of the wave onto the beach and is then placed back on the first water slot after the ocean slot. Turtles on the slot are pushed one slot towards the beach. After resolving a Tricky Wave result, you can roll again.

Whoever is first to have placed all his turtles on the ocean slot, wins the game.

Beautiful with cute components, simple and yet challenging - who makes best use of the opportunities of being taken along or is the cleverest in avoiding Tricky Wave?
