King Ozo

who grabs the longest?

14 Kings rival for the title of King of Kings and decide the contest by pulling out strands of hair carrying a pearl at the end from a mix of strands - if you pull the longest strand, you are King of Kings. 14 threads instead of strands of hair and of varying length carry a colored pearl at one end and a clear pearl at the other end. The pearls can be stuck into each other for longer threads or you can switch colored pearls to make the game more varied.

One player drops the mix and names a color that must be pulled out, but you can only grab the clear end of a thread, and only one thread per round. When all players but one did pull out a thread, this player has three Ozo! calls of the other players to get himself a thread. Whoever gets the correct, or else the longest, thread, wins the round - if you get several threads during the game, you click them together. For the next round, all threads that did not win go back to those remaining on the mat and all are thrown for a new round. When only five threads remain on the mat, all players compare the length of their thread chain; you win with the longest chain. In case of a tie, the longest individual thread wins.

In variants, you must NOT grab the named color, only want the longest thread or the starting player decides at the start of the round which of the mentioned variants is played.

A nice background story and a nice mechanism; of course, you cannot really decide quickly which clear pearl is the one connected to the wanted green one - so grab at random and hope for the best - it gets easier with each round! Great fun for all the family!
