Till Eulenspiegel

Sorting out his prank

For one of his pranks, Till Eulenspiegel collected shoes from the spectators and then simply threw them down from the rope. Players as spectators are tasked with recombining pairs of shoes. Tightrope cards are laid out between house cards, underneath the rope cards are four shoes in each column. You roll the die: For a color result you move till to the next rope card of this color, regardless in which direction, and take the bottom-most shoe in the column. IF you roll the symbol for Till, you move till to any rope card of your choice and take any show from the column beneath the card. Take care! If you have already a pair of shoes in a color, you cannot take another shoe of that color. If you collect four pairs of shoes first, you win.

In a variant till stays in place when you roll his symbol and you may steal a shoe from another player, provided it is a single shoe and not one part of a pair of shoes. In this variant you can collect any number of shoes of the same color.

In the memo version the shoes are laid out face-down beneath the rope cards, one shoe is turned up. If you roll a color, you move Till to the next card of this color, regardless in which direction. When you roll Till, you move him to any rope card of your choice. In both cases , you turn over any show in the column below Till. If you now have a pair of shoes uncovered, you take it and turn over a shoe for the next player; if not, you turn back over the shoe you just revealed.

This is a very nice and rather simple dice and collecting game with a pretty background story. I like the memo version best, it is the most challenging and thrilling one.
