The roly-poly dragon’s egg

Baby wakes up, egg starts tumbling!

The dragon sleeps, but his baby is rolling about in its egg and is cannoning through the forest! Don’t get caught! A pawn for each player is set at the starting spot, the 12 treasure tiles are placed on the board and one dragon egg tile is set green side up for each player next to the board. The egg is placed into the dragon nest. In your turn you roll the die and move towards the treasure, either directly on the shorter path or along a detour. If you arrive at a treasure tile, you pick it up and end your turn. If you already hold a tile, keep the new one and put the other one back on its spot. If you roll the egg-symbol, turn over one of the dragon egg tiles. When all the tiles show the egg on an orange-colored background the baby dragon wakes up. You take a push at the egg and it tumbles across the board. When it overthrows a pawn the owner must put the pawn back to the location of the treasure tile he currently holds. If you do not own a treasure tile when your pawn is overthrown, you must put your pawn back to the start. If the egg rolls off the board you set it back into the dragon nest, otherwise you leave it where it stopped. After that, all dragon egg tiles are turned over again to show the green side.  If you are the first to arrive at the treasure chest with your pawn you win the game.

Kullerei mit Drachenei is a funny, cute and very pretty version of the well-known Ludo/Pachisi mechanism, the tumbling of the egg and overthrowing of a pawn is usually greeted with glee regardless who the pawn belongs to. The game can easily be played by children alone.
