Five!

Collection of games

A project by Steffen-Spiele in cooperation with Bund Deutscher PfadfinderInnen, if you buy a game you donate one game to refugee care institutions. The games are inter-cultural and easy to explain, they are all based on standard mechanisms and are meant to facilitate access to games play and games. The collection comes with rules in German, English, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Igrinya.

32 pieces in black and white are used for five games; the backside is empty, the front side shows symbols – dot, line, triangle and square as abstract representations of numbers 1-4.

Five Wins - row formation game for 2 players, ages 6+: You alternate to place a piece edge to edge, whoever forms an orthogonal row of five pieces first, wins. Torris - tower conquest game for 2 players, ages 12+: Pieces are randomly arranged, face down, in a chess board pattern; then you move one of your pieces according to its symbol, the piece must be one level higher at the end of the move. In towers, you move the top piece, which also determines the owner of the tower. Shell Game - memo game for 2-4 players, ages 6: You lay out four symbols, turn the pieces over, move three pieces and then the other player names a symbol on a piece, if he picked the correct piece, he takes it. Number Poker - bluff game for 2-4 players, ages 9+: You secretly take one of your pieces in your fist, whoever reveals the most valuable one, keeps it and wins the round, the other pieces are out of play, identical values block each other. Clear Up - logic game for 1 player, ages 8: Version of Solitaire.
