Schildkrötenreise

A simple, luck-based racing game for children. The game consists of one island tile, 4 wooden turtles, 43 cards and one six-sided number die. The island tile is the target space that all the turtles (= wooden player pieces) want to reach as fast as possible. The cards, which show either one of several sea creatures or a smaller island, are used to create a path towards the target island tile. They are placed face down. Players take turns rolling the die. The die roll determines how far the player may move his/her turtle. The card it lands on is turned over and depending on the type of card, the turtle is moved several spaces forwards or backwards. The player whose turtle is first to reach the main island wins the game.
