Overview

A short game with simple rules but a lot of depth. 5 differently colored playing pieces, that may be used by all players, race along a path of colored wooden disks towards their goal, the "scoring podium". During their race players pick up these colored disks. At the end of game the players score their collected disks, depending on the positions of the playing pieces on the "scoring podium". Part of the Schmidt Spiele Easy Play line.
