Objective of the Game
In “Da ist der Wurm drin” ("There is the Worm"), the objective is for a player to be the first to guide their worm into the strawberry patch. As players progress, their worms grow, segment by segment, based on dice rolls.
Game Components
The game includes: - A racecourse game board - Multiple colored worm figures with matching worm segments - A special color die - A strawberry patch as the finish line
Gameplay
-
Setup: Each player chooses a worm color and places the corresponding worm figure at the start of the racecourse.
-
Game Flow:
- Players take turns rolling the die.
- The roll determines which colored section of the worm grows. Each section has a predetermined length corresponding to the roll.
-
Players add a worm piece to their worm in the corresponding section of the board.
-
Special Rules:
- Different track sections have different lengths, making certain rolls strategically advantageous depending on the section's length.
-
Sometimes a worm can grow in and out of a section, hastening its progress.
-
Ending the Game: The game ends when a player successfully places their worm entirely in the strawberry patch. That player wins.
Strategic Tips
- Think Ahead: Keep track of which sections are nearing completion and plan rolls to quickly move through these to your advantage.
- Utilize Short Sections: Occasionally, focusing rolls in smaller sections can give your worm an advantageous position ahead of opponents.
