The artists are distributed evenly among the players, colours of the artists are not important. Mama is placed very carefully in the middle of the plinth, her basis should cover all sunken columns evenly. If one of the knobs is turned, the two columns of the same colour rise out of the plinth and an artist can be placed beneath Mama.

You roll the die and the result sets your task: For 1 or 2 one must place one or two artists beneath Mama, for -1 an artist must be removed and of you rolled the star you choose another player who now must place an artist. If the result is 0 you do nothing and your move ends.

If you must place or remove an artist, you turn the knob with the same color as the colums supporting the lowest artist in the stack. The colums rise and thus rise the whole stack. When the knob is in the furthest possible position you can just fit an artist underneath, then you turn the knob carefully and steadily back to lower the colums and the stack. When Mama tumbles down, the winner of the round is the player who last successfully placed an artist without letting Mama fall! The winner of the game is the player who has won the majority of rounds after 5 rounds have been played.

A deceptively simply mechanism, an ingenious mechanics and lots of careful movement add up to a fantastic game with lots of fun. It is in your own interest to place the artist as exactly as possible, because you have to lower to colums successfully!  It looks easy, but after four or five artists it is a real challenge to keep Mama in the air! A challenge not only for children!
