Schnipp-Trick

Disc out, pin still standing!

Ten wooden pins are placed on wooden discs with color markings, another wooden disc serves as puck. The discs are shuffled face-down and set out with about three fingers width between them, then the discs are turned over and the pins are put on the discs of their color. Aim of the game is to snip the puck in a way that you shoot out discs – in given color order, first blue and green ones, then the yellow ones and at the end the one red pin - from underneath pins without pins falling over. Possible results of a shot can be: All pins remain standing on discs, disc or discs were only touched – your turn ends. Pins are on discs and some of the pins have fallen, you set up the pins again and your turn ends. When pins remained standing with discs shot out, but other pins have fallen – you take the standing pins without discs, but leave their discs in place, set up the fallen pins and your turn ends. You managed to shoot out discs and pins are standing and no other pin has fallen – you can go on playing or take disc + pin and other empty discs still remaining. If you continue to play and a pin tumbles, you can only take the pins, but no discs at all. When yellow pins or the red pin are pushed off their discs too early, your turn ends without taking pin and disc. When the red pin is correctly taken as the last one in play, you score 2, 3, 4 and 5 points for each blue, green, yellow and red pins respectively, and 2 points for a disc.

Schnipp-Trick presents a cute idea for a game, speed is essential for success, because only with speed the Snipping Trick will be working, similar to removing the table cloth beneath the dishes.
