PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Särge schubsen

cleaning out the vampire castle

 

Spring cleaning is on in the old vampire castle, so the old coffins have to go. Each player has four vampire cards on display, they show color circles - purple or yellow - and symbols - wings, moon or skull. The garlic card is on display in the middle.

The active player rolls two dice - when the result equals color + symbol of one of your cards, you bang on the garlic card. If you are fastest, you may turn over the card to the coffin side. You are not allowed to look at it again. When the same combination is rolled again and you are again fastest, you may push away the coffin and take a new card. You may also bang on the garlic if you should remember that the rolled combination is on a face-down card of another player. His card is checked and if you are correct, his card is turned back to the vampire side. Special rules apply for dice results including !: ! + Wings - if you bang first, you may turn over one of your vampire cards or push away a coffin card or turn over another player’s coffin to vampire. ! + Moon - if you bang first, you may switch two coffin cards of one or two players. ! + Skull - nobody may bang. In case of whatever kind of mistake you incur a penalty: either turn back one card to vampire or - if you have no coffin card - take another card. If you are first to push away four coffins, you win.

Drat! Why does nobody roll purple + moon, so that I can push away my coffin, Grrr! But, wait, my neighbor has red + wings under his coffin, so bang and turn it his card over to vampire. Ha! Marvelously exasperating, marvelous fun, again a big small game from the Three Magicians!
