Objective
The objective of Meschugge is to remove all balls from your play area by pushing them through the holes in the center of the board. The first player to clear all their balls wins the game.
Setup
Players sit around the game board. Initially, the balls are mixed in a special container and are then distributed randomly on the playing surface. Each player should start with an equal number of balls.
Gameplay
The game proceeds in real time, meaning all players act simultaneously. Once the start signal is given, all players try to push their balls through the holes in the center as quickly as possible using their fingers or an optional pusher tool. There are no turns; everyone plays at the same time. Quick reactions and dexterity are crucial.
Rules
- Simultaneous Play: All players play at the same time. There are no turn-based moves.
- Goal: Move your balls through the holes in the center area.
- Winning: The player who first clears all their balls wins the round.

Strategic Tips
