PLAYED FOR YOU

Fieser Zauber

What is missing - Egg or car?

Six courageous fellows look for the Philosopher’s Stone and must cross the mysterious Magic Wood. In this wood a rather crazy magician is hiding who sneakily transforms the travelers into an egg or a roast chicken or a camel. Players are tasked with revoking the spells, the are using the magic dice to do so.

Each player is given a magic wood board and places the six fellows next to it. Six wooden pieces - camel, palm tree, piglet, car, egg and roast chicken - represent the transformed travelers and are laid out in a circle. In your turn you roll the dice: When they show four different symbols, then all players grab one of the two pieces that are not showing on the dice. When you manage to grab a correct piece you may place on of your travelers into the magic wood board. When there are two or more symbols of the same kind you take one die for each of the symbols and hand on the remaining dice; this is repeated until four different symbols are visible all in all; then all grab again for the missing characters. You may use only one hand and can only grab for the second piece when you have placed the first one in front of you. When you grab a wrong piece, you must, if possible, remove a character from your wood. If you are first to have all travelers placed in your magic wood, you win.

A pretty reaction game in which you can think about what you will have to grab while dice are rolled to result in four different symbols; a good training for concentration and reaction with lots of fun and a nice topic invoking images from Hobbit and The Mirkwood to Potter and The Forbidden Forest.
