You need four cones of the same color and a six-sided die. The playing field itself consists of four levels:

  1. Level: small circle with two down arrows and three protection levels
  2. Level: middle circle, no protection level and some downward arrows
  3. and 4th level: large circle, with down arrows and protection levels.

The game figure that is thrown out of the fourth level is eliminated. The aim of the game is to stay up with your four pins for as long as possible .

Game flow

The first pin is placed in front of the " house " at the start of the game , otherwise you can come out when you throw a six. Alternately, the dice are now rolled. If you get a six you can roll again. Other players can be beaten if you get on their field.

Hitting is not allowed on the white protective fields . If you hit a pawn on a black field, it no longer goes into the "house" but goes down a circle. You can also hit by voluntarily sliding down one level . Sometimes hitting an opponent triggers further reactions from when this when chutes other characters displaced.

Two playing figures of the same color on a white field can form a barrier, i.e. block the other pins. They are then allowed to stand up, but are no longer allowed to pull over the blockade. The winner is whoever has a piece on the devil's wheel last. The playing time ranges from 10 to 30 minutes.

Devil's wheel 2

Here the players have to bring their pawns to the goal on the opposite side of the board , similar to the Halma . However, this is done via a turntable, and whenever a player moves a piece to the target, he can turn the turntable by 90 °.
