📖 About This Game

Simply vintage roll & move board game for children. The first player, who cross the finish line first, wins the game. The 24 hoarding goods cards are to be placed on the corresponding spaces, e.g., the 4 flour sacks on the outermost circle, spaces 7, 13, 22, and 35. Each type has its own circle. Each player then receives a number of tokens to take with them on their journey. Both dice are rolled in turn, and the player whose goods are rolled may advance as many spaces in their circle as the number die shows. However, to get their goods, the player must reach or skip a space on which they are to be hoarded, i.e., on which a tile with a hoarding good is located. This means that the player who is after honey must roll the last roll to reach or skip their four hamster spaces. If the player aiming for the honey is sitting on number 17, to receive the honey pot, they must roll honey with the hamster die and 3 or more with the number die, in which case they may remove the colored picture from the board. Otherwise, the player whose picture is rolled may advance, regardless of the player. The player whose placement piece lands on a large picture that represents the needs and worries of a hoarder must accept the penalties indicated on the picture. The first player to reach the goal or roll over is the winner.
