Color chips according to demand
A colorful, eye-catching board – 11x11 spots show either one color only or a color marked with a Smiley or are black-and-white. On this board you distribute six chips each in four colors at the start of the game. Now you need to collect color chips according to a task card which you randomly draw at the start of the game; then you roll the die once and place your marker on the spot of this color; by the way, there are spots in six colors.
You roll and move your marker in any direction to the nearest spot in the color you rolled, there can be more than one marker on a spot. Black-and-white spots are barrier spots and can only be crossed in one direction. When you reach a chip you take it and put it into your own home area at the border of the board. You’re your marker ends the turn on a smiling Smiley you demand a chip from any other player, he decides which one he gives you. When the move ends on a spot which a frowning Smiley you must give one of your own chips to a player of your choice. On the joker spot in the middle4 of the board you can either take a chip from one of the joker spot in the corners or demand a chip or give away a chip! Take care! You must collect four chips corresponding to the task card, but can never hold more than four chips at any time. Should you have to take a fifth chip, you have lost instantly.
This rule and the barrier spots make for a very tactical game, because you must get rid of wrong colors as fast as you can! So joker and smiley spots are very much in demand, but take care when discarding chips, because chips on action spots deactivate them. Sophisticatedly simple!
