The aim of the game is to run a route with a start, intermediate stations and finish by dropping a marker and to be the first to reach the finish.
**Playing area:**
All terrain areas that can be easily covered on foot without obstacles are suitable for setting up the game, i.e. meadow, street (without traffic), forest, garden areas, city park, etc. The options for direction and distance of the route are very diverse.
**Game preparations:**
Before the game begins, the route is set up with all game participants. (see also game plan.
The route consists of the starting line (yellow cord), three stations (yellow wooden cones numbered 1 - 3), and the finish line (red wooden cones).
1. Stick the starting line into the ground or lay it down.
2. Set up stations 1, 2, 3 in order at the desired distances so that the colored, yellow side is turned in the direction in which you have to go around them. The greater the distance between the individual stations, the longer the route and the longer the duration of the game.
3. Put the target up last. Complete !
**Gameplay:**
Each participant chooses a colored stone and two throwing sticks of the same color.
Each player has two throws in one round.
The first thrower now takes the pyramid, throws from the starting line towards the first station, and tries directly to hit the cube with his first throwing stick.
If he succeeds, he can place his colored stone on the spot on the die and immediately proceed from there with his second throwing stick as he did with the first throw.
If he hits the die this time too, he also places the colored stone in the place of the die. If the first throw doesn't hit, you have to make the second throw directly from the starting line. So, the die hit is always the next discard point and is marked with its colored stone.
Now it's player 2's turn and so on.
In the second round, player 1 throws from his colored piece towards station 1, then station 2, etc.
Attention, make sure you go around the stations on the side with the yellow color. Litters directly over the station are prohibited and are considered a forfeited litter.
Once you have passed the third station, you head towards your destination.
From here on, the player can decide to hit the target directly with the throwing stick instead of moving forward with the dice.
But be careful, route change: The player who was the last to circle marker 1 can now place this station again after his second throw, somewhere between station 3 and the destination. From now on, all other players have to go around this new station before going to the destination.
**Game Tips:**
When determining the route, make sure that the next station always remains within visible distance, otherwise it could become very confusing. So set up the station before the turn when changing direction.
Anything is possible for the course of the route. Trees, hedges, chairs, benches, cars... don't have to be an obstacle. Through the forest, city park, schoolyard, beach?, no problem.
The only important thing is to get the red target stone to lie down at the end.
