📖 About This Game
You need four skittles of the same colour and a six-sided dice. The playing field itself consists of four levels:
1st level: small circle, with two down arrows and three protective levels
2nd level: medium circle, no protective level and several down arrows
3rd and 4th level: large circle, with down arrows and protection levels.
The skittle that is thrown out of the fourth level is eliminated. The aim of the game is to stay on top with your four cones for as long as possible.
Course of the game
The first skittle is placed in front of the "house" at the start of the game, otherwise you can come out on the roll of a six. The dice are then rolled in turn. If you roll a six, you can roll again. Other players can be hit if you land on their square.
You are not allowed to hit on the white protective squares. However, if you hit a skittle on a black square, it no longer goes to the "house" but moves one circle further down. You can also capture by voluntarily moving down one level. Sometimes hitting an opponent triggers further reactions if the opponent displaces other skittles when sliding.
Two skittles of the same colour on a white square can form a blockade, i.e. block the other cones. They may then still stand, but may no longer move over the blockade. The winner is the last player to have a piece on the devil's wheel. The duration of the game ranges from 10 to 30 minutes.
