PLAYED FOR YOU
Raketofix
From Planet to Planet
Players visit alien planets with mobile, chaotic and animalistic inhabitants and solve tasks there. Three planetary cards are on display, for each planet there is a face-down stack of cards.
You roll the die: The Joker earns you a joker card, which you can use later to swap a card or to change to another planet. For the broken rocket you pass your turn. When you roll one of the planets you take the paper rocket and puff it to the corresponding planet; for the planetary joker you choose a planet for your target. You are allowed to puff several times until the rocket has reached the planet. Then you solve the task: You turn up the top card in the planetary stack – on Mobilix you explain to your neighbor, who assumes the role of Mobilino, by talking only the movement shown on the card; if he imitates it correctly you score the red friendship stars on the card and your Mobilino scores a green star. On Chaotix you have 30 seconds to memorize the items on the card. Depending on the number of items you managed to remember you score one to four yellow stars. The Animalinos on Animalix command all animal languages. Your left neighbor names the animals on the card, you then imitate the animal noises; if you do this in correct order you score a blue friendship star.
If you visited all three planets and scored stars there, you are awarded three green stars and the game ends; all count their stars and you win if you have the highest total.
