Game play

Each player gets six small and one large chip of a color. Round robin is now trying to snap the little chips in the wooden body. Purpose press the big chip on the edge of the small. The winner, who has flicked the first all his chips in the fungus.

Thus, the snap works fine, a soft play mat must be used. The initial removal of a chip is freely chosen. Should the chip meet in addition to the fungus, it is lying at this point and needs to be flipped in a later round from there. If it is possible to snap a token in the mushroom, the player in question is another time at the train. If a chip off the field ( on the floor, etc. in addition to a game pad ), it is placed back in his old job. Lands a chip on another player, this may be played again until the opponent's chip was removed. The game ends when a player has flicked all his little chips in the fungus.
