Goal
The first player to collect one fruit of each type wins the game.
Setup
Assemble the stand and adjust its tilt using the hook-and-loop strip (ruban à scratch). The more steeply the stand is tilted, the greater the difficulty.
How to Play
Place the fruits on the stand. Determine a first player. On your turn, the active player spins the spinner.
If the spinner shows…
- A colour: Take one fruit of that colour using the tongs and place it in front of you.
- 2: Take two fruits and place them in front of you.
- 3: Take three fruits and place them in front of you.
- Star: Take a fruit from one of your opponents and place it in front of you.
If, during your turn, you cause an avalanche, return to the stand all the fruits that have fallen as well as those you had won earlier.
A player's turn begins as soon as they spin the spinner. If fruits fall before you have started taking any, you lose all your fruits. It may be wise to wait a moment before spinning the spinner, and not to spin it too hard.
Variant
You may also start with an empty stand. Share the fruits equally among the players. The goal is now to place all of your fruits on the stand. In the event of an avalanche, the player at fault takes all the fruits that fell.
Translation Notes
- The French sheet contains two typos that were read as intended: "place »z-le" is read as "placez-le" (place it), and "na pas" is read as "ne pas" (not). The rules are unaffected.
- The introductory escaleajeux.fr page and the publisher and translator credit lines are not transcribed.
