About the game
Cardboard tile that was originally given as a promo at Essen Spiel 2024 if you bought the game at the ABACUSSPIELE booth. It contains a wheel that you can punch out. On the cardboard tile an arrow is present and by randomly putting in the wheel in the hole on the cardboard where you have punched the wheel out, one of the 6 colors is selected. Every card of the color you have at the end of the game will score you 1 VP.
