Cool am Pool

My Towel! no, that’s my Lounger!

Sommer, sun, a pool and competition for the loungers!

Each player holds 16 towels and five bathing guests of his color, the pool attendant starts at the diving board. At the start all players place, depending on the number of players, 6 to 12 empty towels anywhere in rows 2, 3 and 4 of the loungers, loungers of value 5 remain empty.

Then you roll all dice – for each roll you set aside at least one color points; you can reroll remaining dice and also repeat a actual row when discarding water balls. When there are pool attendants in the result, you must set those aside, too. If you are happy with the dice result, you first move the pool attendant as many steps as there are symbols for him, his new position blocks the color or number area of loungers for the round.

Then you can use a suitable dice result of color + quantity you can conquer one of your loungers by turning the towel over to the guest side; such loungers are safe! Or you place one of your guest markers on an opposing towel and – in a second turn –then replace the opposing towel + your marker by one of your own towels, guest side up. Or you re-conquer your own lounger by removing an opposing guest and turning the towel over to the guest side. You can also claim a value 5 lounger with a guest-side-up towel. When only four loungers are available, you win at the end of the round with most points from your loungers, your bathers on other towels and water ball chips.
