PLAYED FOR YOU

Wickie

Odin's Spiegel

Wickie and his VIkings discover an ancient treasure, the Mirror of Odin! If you see your shield in the mirror, you are invincible in battle. Each player takes one Wickie tile; 24 discs, the so-called template tiles, show shields in front and a number on the back side, they are stacked in the mirror compartment; a set of another 24 tiles show the same shields and have a yellow backside; those tiles are called display tiles and are spread open-faced on the table.

The current active player takes the first template tile and places it at the back of the row; then all look at the mirror image and search for the corresponding display tile on the table. Whoever thinks he has found it, places his Wickie tile on the display tile. When all players have placed their Wickie tiles, you take the template tile out of the compartment and check beneath all Wickie tiles: If you have placed your Wickie tile on the correct display tile, you get the template tile. If more than one player has placed his Wickie tile correctly, the tile goes to the fastest of those players, that is, the player whose tile is lowest in the stack on the display tile. If you are first to collect five template tiles you win. For an easier game you can use fewer pairs of tiles or remove the display tile from the table, too.

Wickie der Little Viking - a perennially attractive topic and in this case introducing an attractive but not really easy game - the mirror distorts the image quite a lot and you have to look very closely to find the correct image on the table. A good challenge and a good training for observation and quick reactions.
