Mia and me

Gemeinsam für Centopia

The floating island of Funtopia and circus director Rixel disturb peace in Centopia, players need to protect unicorns and circus animals from him by hiding them. 8 pink and eight orange square tiles are arranged by back side, four each per color show dice pips in front, four each show characters from Centopia and animals; around the squares you lay out circular tiles showing the eight Centopia images from the squares plus four filler images. The marker starts on any of the circular tiles.

You roll the die; for a color result you reveal one movement square and one picture square. Then you move the marker in any direction as many steps along the circle tiles as there are pips on the revealed movement square. When the turn ends on the image equal to that on the revealed picture square, you may turn over the circle tile; if not, it remains as is is. The two revealed squares are turned back over. Rixel as result of the die roll steals one of the eight movement squares – arrow markers on the back. When all circle tiles are turned over to hide the characters and animals before Rixel has stolen all arrow tiles, all players win together.
