Flügelrad

Flügelrad / Impeller Wheel

by Andreas Kuhnekath-Häbler

When zwo players turn the wheel...

...this can be quite constructive - at least if they play a game of FLÜGELRAD.

The gameboard consists of 7 hexagonal spaces, each of which has a hole  in its center for the impeller wheel. The game is played with marbles; each player has his own color. On your turn, you reposition the impeller wheel and then rotate it as far as you like, thus moving up to six marbles at the same time. 

The first plyer to form a contiguous cluster of at least six of this marbles wins. But beware: It can easily happen that you move your opponent's marbles as well. 

Warning: Not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts can be swallowed!

For 2 players, 8 years and up

Playing time: 15 - 20 minutes
