📖 About This Game

Welcome to Kirlo, the board game for all occasions! What does "Kirlo" actually mean? Well, it's Esperanto and means whirl or vortex. If you take a look at the game board, you'll immediately see why the game is called that - the arrows between the playing fields move around and towards the center, just like in a vortex. Gameplay As soon as it is your turn, carry out the following steps. Roll the dice: Take your dice and roll once. Move: Move a piece of the same color forward by the number rolled. Arrow direction: You may only move the stones in the direction of the arrows. At junction in the path, you are free to choose which path you want to take with your piece (provided the path is not blocked). Blockades: You may not jump over other pieces with your piece. If a piece blocks the path, you must move your piece along another free path. Hit: You may hit a piece with an exact roll and place it back on a starting position. You can now roll the dice again and make another move. Black field: You may only move to the black target field in the middle with an exact roll. If you manage this, you can pick up the piece and place it in front of you. If this was your last piece, you win! You can play Kirlo in several variants with different levels of difficulty. Kirlo is a game with simple rules and a short playing time, lots of interaction, lots of fun and exciting to the end. —description from the publisher
