PLAYED FOR YOU

Schnipp es!

Markers in Team colors

From time to time something new comes up and you think "Why has nobody thought of this before" - as with the new 3-part conical playing piece, a Pöppel, which now can be assembled from colored segments, any way you like. This possibility of different color combinations suggests simulating of given combinations, for instance team dresses of soccer players - voila`, and here is the soccer simulation Schnipp es!

The basic idea is to snip your team Pöppels = markers so that the ball moves towards the opposing goal. But if you overturn the marker, the attack stops.

You choose one side of the board and each team distributes the three markers any way it likes in its half of the field. At the start each player rolls one, the player with the lower value starts with this value; then the active player always rolls and leaves the die on the board for a referee obstacle. When the die touches marker, goal or ball or rolls off the field you incur a Red or Yellow card. Otherwise, you snip you own markers as often as you have rolled pips, distributed any way among the markers, but each marker only a maximum of three times; if you roll a 1 you can snip each of your markers once.

There are exact rules for turned over markers, yours and the opponent's, for Out, Door Out, and Goal-Kick, and also for a minimum distance of markers when you need to re-arrange them. If you snip the ball in its total circumference beneath the goal card you have made a goal! If you manage the agreed number of goals first, you win!

Simple, simply nice, works well and as on the field your own proficiency, albeit only in snipping markers, decides the outcome of the game.
