Hamsterrolle (Import)

This is a must have game for me personally. I don't ever see it leaving the collection , as it's brought so much joy in the short time I've had it out of shrink. It's from 2 - 4 players, but I'll say the best time I've ever had was with a group of 9 - on teams, and then a crowd of 10 or more watching and cheering and Ooooing and laughing. It plays well with less as well - BUT, I find you should us ALL the pieces for maximum fun. The last 3 player game I had, after we get our pieces, each of us goes around the table choosing 1 of the remaining pieces from the player pieces that were not in play. 1 left over, put it in the box. There's some grey area rules in this game, which means it's good to come up with some house rules. A couple of mine are, no jamming pieces into a compartment so they're held by friction. I fear compartment dividers breaking at some point. Another one is you can hold onto the wheel when you place a piece - and you can let go however you want, fast, slow, whatever. If multiple players say a move will be impossible, then the player shouldn't even try. this is a very grey area one, and it's best, in the end, to just relax a bit and not get too competitive on the rules. I've played with kids as young as 7, and relatives as old as 78. There are now probably 5 copies in the hands of family and friends because of me.
