Hatschi Iglu

BUilding for the Polar Bear

The little sick polar bear needs to have his igloo finished and players complete it for him. The igloo is set up according to stringent rules and the little polar bear is placed in it so that his heads completely disappears within the igloo. Each player takes 6 or 8 ice blocks, depending on the number of players, and places them behind his screen.

In turn you roll the die: You can either take one of your ice blocks and place it at a free cavity in the igloo or you must turn the igloo for a quarter circle in any direction or you may swap all your ice blocks including your screen with another player; this action need not be done when you believe that you are the player holding fewest ice blocks. When you roll the sneezing polar bear you must make the polar bear in the igloo sneeze: You press the entrance of the igloo and you can hear a loud Hatschi!, the little bear emerges from his igloo and it can happen that some blocks fall off the igloo again. Those blocks must be taken by the player who just rolled the die, and must be placed behind his screen. Then you send the little polar bear back into his igloo, that is, you press him down until he arrests himself with a loud click. Blocks on the igloo that were shaken out of alignment are replaced correctly. If you roll Hatschi! without blocks being in the igloo, you roll again. If you are first to place all your blocks in the igloo you roll again.

Hatschi Iglu continues the range of games on polar bears and ice blocks very nicely and very attractively, the double chance-driven mechanism is fun and is of very good use for a first rule-adhering game.
