PLAYED FOR YOU

Schatz, Schatz!

Treasure hunting with map

An old map has been found and this map shows a treasure at its center, which players of course want to acquire. Each player is secretly assigned a color which only he knows and then you shuffle the deck of cards and deal three cards to each player.

You roll two dice and add the pips; then you choose a color according to the cards in hand and lay down this card. Now can move the marker in this color the number of steps equal to the result from multiplying the marking on the card with the total of pips rolled. When this move ends on a spot marked with a feather you can move the marker a second time for the total of steps. When the movement ends on a spot with a spiral, you must switch this marker with any other of your choice. Both markings are only valid for the last spot reached with the total movement, not for stages in between, when you can move 4 x 3 steps only for spot 12!

When one of the markers reaches the treasure spot the game ends and the winner is the player holding the card in the color of this marker.

Schatz, Schatz! continues the series of very simple educational games from Logis, in this case the target is simple mental arithmetic; of course you can rule that you can move the result of the dice roll as many times as the card you played states, that is move the marker three times for four steps when you rolled 1+3 and the card is marked with x3; or you can ask that you must multiply and count out the total number of steps, in this case 12. Spiral and feather spots introduce a tiny bit of tactics, the luck of dice dominates the game. Simple, easy and nice to look at!
