DIE PANZERKNACKER

Calculate your loot

You are a safecracker out for booty, but you must find your loot with calculations, searching, thinking and observing! 18 loot cards are on display, the safecracker cards are displayed around the loot, and numbers are pointing outwards. You search for the loot card determined by the dice: Three dice of different colors show numbers 1 to 18, the white dice arrows. The direction of the arrow gives you either the die with the highest or with the lowest number. This number determines the card of the round, which shows the math operation to do with the numbers on the remaining two dice; this can be a simple addition or a lower/higher comparison. For instance: Arrow pointing down means lowest number, this is the 4 on the red die. This card now says “add numbers on the yellow and blue dice”, which results in 8+7=15. The card shows three booty pieces, one for the result <19, one for >19 and one for =19. The booty of the round is the one shown next to <19. If you think that you have found the right booty piece, even if it already lying in front of another player, you put your hand on it. If you are correct, you receive the card. If you have collected five cards, you win.

The puzzles on the cards are very different, sometimes you must assign the numbers to columns or rows and the crossing of the two determines the booty piece.

A nice little game for playful training of logic and calculation abilities, and also of reactions; due to searching and controlling all players are involved all the time. The safecracker topic is of interest to children and the topic “Crack a Code” fits the mechanisms well.
