BArrel bowling for coins

Barrel bowling in the Viking village! If you topple barrels, you move forward on the dock and if do not end up in the water, you can earn gold coins.

The Viking village board is laid out and the Viking flags are randomly and openly placed along the dock. There are always all ships and all Viking counters in play, even if there are fewer than four players. Each player takes a ship, surplus ships sit next to the board, and all Viking counters are placed in front of the first dock case. One gold coin is placed into each of the ships.

From a corner of the Viking village you use the Ball Bat to push the ball towards the barrels in the middle of the village. If no barrel topples, you repeat the pushing until at least one barrel topples as the result of the roll. Then, for each barrel you toppled, you advance the Viking counter of the same color one step along the dock. If you toppled several barrels, you can decide the order in which you move the counter. If a Viking counter has to move into the water, Viking counters still on the dock yield rewards of coins from stock or taken from other players, even Vikings not controlled by a player. When all coins have been used from stock, you can do any applicable stealing from other players and then you win with most coins.

A new hit by Haba - a game just as you want a game for children to be. Simple in its basic rules, and yet drawing on several abilities and knowledge - for instance, hand-eye coordination or tactics in moving the Viking counters - and featuring attractive, functional components. And it is fun to play, too!
