Die Biene Maja

Über Stock und Stein

A field of rapeseed has been discovered and the Queen of the Corn Poppy Meadow must be informed; Maja is tasked with bringing her the news from the queen of the Sunshine beehive.

The game board is set up according to instructions and you place your marker at the start - Maja, Willi, Flip or Lara. Players take their turns in clockwise order, and a turn comprises four actions: At first, you turn up a face-down tile: If it is a special tile, you implement it. Special tiles are: Pass your turn; Spinner - you keep it and can use it letter for an additional turn; Letter - is necessary to win; Steps - are placed on the stairs to the Queen Bee. If it is a ladder, firefly, boat or honey pot, you set the tile aside open-faced. Then, for your second action, you reveal another tile in analogy to the first. If you find a second tile of ladder, firefly, boat or honey pot identical to the first, you keep the pair; otherwise, you turn both of them back over again. As your third action you turn the spinner and as your fourth action you move your marker according to the result of the spinner. When your marker finishes its movement on a taken spot, you put put the marker on the next free spot. To pass bridge, mushroom field, river and flower bed you need a pair of the corresponding tiles. When all steps are placed and you reach the Queen Bee first with the letter, you win.
