Full Moon

Wolves howling in a pack

 

Full Moon and howling wolf packs - if you can align four wolves of different colors in a column = pack, you will win the Full Moon and the game. The components comprise three wolves each in four colors, there is one wolf each showing one, two or three paws in each of the colors. All wolves are set out in a row, all heads to one side. One player sits at the "head" side of the row of wolves, the other player at the "foot" side. The starting player must choose a one-paw wolf. In a turn a wolf is chosen and moved by as many positions as it shows paws, on the side of the active player, above or below the starting row accordingly, and to the left or right of its original position, according to the player's choice. More than one wolf in a column are called a pack. When a wolf was moved you place the moon tile above or below the column that holds the wolf just moved. The next player must move a wolf of the same color or showing as many paws as the wolf next to which the moon tile was placed. Wolves are always placed at the side of the active player. You are only allowed to move the outmost wolf in a pack, none from within the pack, but you may move the whole pack! A pack can never hold two wolves of the same color. If you cannot execute a move that is predefined by the moon tile, you must pass your turn and the other player can move any wolf of his choice.

Neat, small, elegant and challenging, as are the other games of this series, a well-working variant of the x-in-a-row mechanism. If you are able to visualize several moves and their results in advance you have a definite advantage, especially if you can thus force an unfeasible move on your opponent.
