Description

Here is a description of the game from Die P ppelkiste: A promising looking idea (and set of components) is Spin & Trap. 19 balls are arranged in a hex pattern. Each player has 8 balls in their color, and 3 green ones are added as well. The first player to get 2 of them is the winner. However, both players can move any ball they want. To do this, there are two tools available: they are plastic pieces that are placed over the balls on the board. The smaller of the two grabs 3 balls (in a triangle), while the larger one has seven openings – one in the middle and six around the edges. The middle opening must be placed over a ball of your own color. Once positioned, the tools can be rotated, moving all of the balls around. If a player manages to arrange it such that a green ball is surrounded by nothing but his own color, then he can take that green ball from the board. It s replaced with one of your own color, which means you have a slight advantage. The first player to get 2 green balls is the winner.
