Balancing Ark

For 1-3 Players, Suitable for Children of 3 Years and Upwards

This game encourages the virtue of patience and also promotes manual skill.

The object of the game is to place the balls on the ark without the ark tipping over or one of the balls falling off.

After throwing the dice, it can then be determined which animal-symbol is to be next placed on the ark – in accordance with the symbol “selected” by the dice.

If all the balls of the colour shown up by the dice have already been piled onto the ark, then this player with such a throw has to miss a turn.

Should the ark begin to rock when one of the balls is being placed on it, even if the ball remains firmly on the pile, this player also has to miss a turn.

If a player chooses the positioning of his balls of thread carefully and tactically, he can make it more difficult for the next player when he takes his turn.

If one or more balls fall off the ark, then the player, whose action caused this, is out of the match whereby the opponent wins this game.

The winner is the player who puts the last and the most difficult token on the ark without knocking it over.
