Die bunte Bande

Own circles should be connected by different colorful shapes. Each player has four circles of one color - blue, pink, gray and yellow-green. One circle of each player is placed in the center together with the circle of the other players so that these circles touch each other, so to speak, form a square. The remaining circles are laid out in a circle around this center square with about a hand's width between them; there should be space between the circles and circles of the same color should not be directly adjacent or too close together. The 36 shape cards in six colors - yellow, orange, blue, purple, dark green and red - are laid out in an unordered pile, with each shape once per color. The active player rolls the dice and takes any shape card of that color and places it on the table so that it touches a circle or another already existing shape card. If there is no matching shape card left in the supply, take any card of that color from the table and place it somewhere else. In this way, each player tries to be the first to connect his own circles with shape cards. The player who succeeds first is the immediate winner. Cheerful, colorful, simple and an enjoyable, loose practice of spatial imagination and use of space; for example, you can put the fish and the starfish mouth to tip, or put the head of the gobbler in the crook of the starfish or mushroom - so you can overcome long distances, or avoid making it too easy for the other players to connect their own circles faster.
