Uluru

DREAMBIRDS FOR BEGINNERS

At night Australian animals turn into dream birds and fly around the Sacred Mountain of Uluru. But they have special wishes as regards to where and next to which other bird they want to land. If players cannot fulfill those wishes they score negative points. Based on this very beautiful logic game there is now a smaller edition, a so-called take-me-along game, which has also been somewhat reduced in difficulty levels. You can use as a teaching game for Uluru itself and also use the cards as an expansion for Uluru.

In this version each player has an Uluru card with six positions and one chip in each bird color. Then six cards, one per bird color, are laid out and you place one wish card beneath each bird card. This wish card shows in which relation to another the bird pictured on the bird card wants to sit (if on the card ´beneath the blue bird the green bird sits opposite the colorless bird this means that the green bird wants to sit opposite the blue bird). No all try to place their chips on their position card accordingly, a wish card of the same color as the bird above is fulfilled automatically. If you are done, you announce “Uluru”. The last has the duration of a 10-0 count time to place his chips and automatically scores -1 before scoring begins. Then all cards are scored; each chip not correctly placed scores -1. After six rounds, the player with the fewest points wins.

In this simplified version Uluru is still an ideal training for logical thinking and if you copy your neighbor you will only copy his mistakes! Cards can contradict each other and a solution for all birds is not always possible.
