PLAYED FOR YOU

Zieh Leine, Flynn

Loot from the crow's nest

As a crew member you want to steal back the items out of Flynn the Pirate Owl's the crow's nest, stolen from you and stashed there by Flynn. 20 Cord cards show loot items - drinking cups, sabers, treasure chests, jewelry or mice, there are four cards for each item. Those Cord cards are stacked by item, item stacks are combined into one stack which is covered with the Crow's Nest card. Flynn is then placed on top of the stack.

And now players use the table-cloth trick - the cloth, that is, in this case, a Cord card is drawn out so quickly that nothing topples or falls. You roll a die and pull out the resulting item card by its cord from the stack. If you roll the Pirate Flag you choose and name the item before pulling the card out. You pull as fast and strong as you can at the cord to get the card out of the stack: If the card shows the correct item and the stack has not tumbled down and Flynn did not fall of, then you may turn over one of your coin cards over to the yellow side. If you pull out the last item of a kind, you can turn over two coins and the items are put back into the Crow's Nest stack. If you only pull out a wrong card or several cards without the stack or Flynn falling, nothing happens. But if the stack or Flynn fall, you must turn all your coins that are already yellow back to the Flynn side and all other players discard their coins already turned over to yellow! Whoever turns over all his coins first, wins.

Zieh Leine, Flynn offers a nice, marvelous new mechanism for a game of dexterity and memory, which works very well and which is challenging and funny, definitely not only for children!
