📖 About This Game
The number of players must be at least 5, the more the better. The order is determined by placing the numbered playing pieces and Puck upside down on the table and drawing one for each player. From the 2nd game onwards, however, Puck is always the one that reaches space 62 first in the last game.
The other players each pay 10 tokens into the till, start at space 1 and advance as many spaces as they rolled eyes, except for "Puck". He may move once after each throw of the others, in the manner of a knight in chess.
If "Puck" reaches someone on a space that brings profit he receives half of it. If he catches someone on a penalty space, half of the penalty falls to him and the other half to the cash register. Conversely, if he is caught on such a space, he must pay half the penalty for the player concerned.
Likewise, he caught on a winning space instead of paying the cash register the winnings from his pocket. If one of the other players finally catches him on a blue space - to which 24 and 50 do not belong - he must pay 2 tokens to the till.
Whoever reaches space 62 first, receives two thirds of the contents of the box is "Puck" in the next game. Whoever arrives afterwards gets the rest.
