PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Einhorn Glitzerglück

Rainbow for a shortcut

 

Four unicorns in four different colors - Sparkling Char, Stardust, Marvel Flower and Magic Heart - live in the Land of Clouds. They are best friends and play together on top of the fluffy clouds, sliding along rainbows and enjoy the sparkling crystals. But one day suddenly a heavy thunderstorms threatens and they flee from the dark clouds towards the sun and try to take as many Cloud Crystals as possible with them.

You roll the blue Cloud Die - for one, two or three cloud symbols you move forward as many steps along the clouds; when your turn ends on a white cloud with a rainbow you can move along the rainbow to its end on another white cloud. When your turn stops at a pink cloud, you roll the pink Crystal Die and may take the corresponding number of crystals from stock. When your turn ends on a purple cloud you take one crystal from stock and give it to another player of your choice. When you roll a muffin symbol with the Cloud Die your unicorn needs a rest and you pass your turn. If you are first to reach the final cloud you are rewarded with the four crystals waiting there and then the winner of the game is whoever has most crystals.

If you cannot yet count properly you turn over the board, place your unicorns at the end and line up your crystals in front of the unicorn. You win if you own the longest row.

Nothing special, nothing really new, only an enchanting, simple roll & move game that you can use to train adhering to rules, to practice a little counting, to enjoy the pretty crystals - a nice, well-working game for children; the board backside as a counting aide is an attractive detail.
