PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Der Isses!

Who is misleading whom?

 

The aim of the game is very simple, you want to acquire one silver coin in each round and win with four silver coins!

Each player has a set of colored tiles (7 colors with the same backside) - seven markers in those seven colors are placed randomly on the board and, finally, the silver coin is placed, with a minimum of one square distance to the next marker. Now each player secretly chooses a color by himself, this marker is his in this round and he places the tile in this color at the bottom his stack of tiles. The player who did not place the silver coin starts the game, in later rounds the player who won the previous round.

For your turn you choose any marker and move it by one step or let it jump over one or several adjacent markers; the chosen marker must be in a position nearer to the silver coin at the end of the turn than it was in at the start of the turn; a diagonal distance is considered to be longer than a straight distance. You win the silver coin either by 1) moving on top of the coin or 2) by choosing the same color as the player who jumps onto the coin or 3) by challenging the opponent, you point to a marker which you are sure of that is is the one chosen by your opponent and say „“that’s the one“; if you are correct you get the coin. You are not allowed to pass your turn but must move a marker or challenge your opponent and say “that’s the one”.

A typical Alex Randolph game, small, neat and more of challenge than you credit it with at first glance; how do I best hide my choice without bluffing too obviously, do I go for the coin directly or for misleading my opponent?
