Purzelbaum

nuts tumbling down

A game on the course of the seasons, on harvesting and collecting stores. Spring is simulated by setting up the tree and placing the leaves on it. The placing of the nuts on the tree represents the ripening of fruits during the summer. In autumn, the ripe nuts are tumbling off the tree and are hidden for winter, and then winter they are searched for and dug up.

The active player lifts a meadow disc and tries to push a nut into the now open hole with the help of the tree leaf behind the nut. If you succeed, you receive the leaf and put down the disc on the hole, snowy winter side up. if not, you close the hole with the disc again, winter side up, too, and put the leaf on top of the disc. Then you hide the disc in a hole determined by the position of the nut and close the hole with the disc, green side up.

When all nuts are hidden, you turn over all remaining green discs to their winter sides. Then, in turn, you lift a disc and take the leaf, if one happens to be on top, and any nuts that might be in the hoe. The disc is then put back, still winter side up. If you uncovered an empty hole, you put the the disc back with its green summer side up. When all the discs in the meadow show their green side, all players count the nuts and leaves they collected and you win with the highest total.

Purzelbaum, too, is a game that accesses several abilities - dexterity, spatial thinking, memory and also tactic in the hiding of the nuts that did not end up in a hole. Add the enchanting components and the harmonious story and you have this attractive, well-working game offering lots of fun to play.
