Objective of the Game: "Schweller" is a relatively unknown board game where players attempt to successfully move their pieces across a board filled with obstacles called "Schweller" to reach the finish line. The main objective is to be the first to get all your pieces to the finish.
Game Components: - A board with a 10x10 square grid - Game pieces for each player (4 pieces per player in different colors) - A six-sided dice - Optionally, a deck of event cards (depending on the version)
Setup: 1. Place the game board in the center and distribute the game pieces according to the players' colors. 2. Each player places their pieces on the starting space of their color. 3. If using event cards, shuffle them and place them face down.
Gameplay: 1. Determine Turn Order: Each player rolls the dice; the highest roller goes first. 2. Turn: - Roll the dice at the start of your turn and move any of your pieces forward by the number rolled. - If an opponent's piece is found on your landing space, send it back to its starting space. - Special spaces ("Schweller") have specific rules that must be followed. Examples include moving backward, losing a turn, or jumping to another space. - Optional event cards may be drawn which provide positive or negative effects (e.g., move extra spaces, swap pieces, etc).
-
Reaching the Finish: Move the exact number of spaces required to reach the finish line. A piece that rolls over will stay on the finish line until the next turn.
-
Winning the Game: The first player to get all their pieces safely to the finish wins.
Strategic Tips: - Plan ahead to avoid spending too much time on the "Schweller." - Use event cards wisely to strengthen your position or weaken your opponents. - Consider whether engaging with an opponent is beneficial or if taking an alternative route is better.
Special Features: - The game can be adjusted with different variants or additional event cards to add diversity. - "Schweller" can be adapted with more players to vary the game time.
Enjoy playing "Schweller!"
