P?dz?ce ?limaki

A hidden-ownership racing game has players move colored snails, collect mushrooms, and push competitors for points. Nobody knows every opponent’s snail, so bluffing and tactical moves remain uncertain until scoring.

Players roll dice and move colored snails on the board. Along the way, they try to push opponents and get as many delicious mushrooms as they can. Until the very end nobody knows which snail belongs to which opponent, which guarantees great excitement. The game has simple rules, and victory is decided by tactics and the ability to bluff. —description from the publisher In P?dz?ce ?limaki: Na jednej nodze ("Running Snails: On one leg") every player controls two out of five snails. It may happen that some snails are controlled by two players. On a turn, a player rolls the dice, chooses one of them and moves a snail with a color corresponding to the chosen die. After that, the player passes the dice (except for the previously selected die) to the next player. When the number of dice passed is reduced to one then the current player receives all of the dice. The game ends when one of the snails finishes the race. At this time, snails are awarded points: 5 for 1st place, 2 for 2nd place, and 3 for last place. Snails can also earn points during the race by landing on a mushroom or pushing back other snails. The player who has the most points at the end of the game is the winner. P?dz?ce ?limaki is a third game in Egmont Polska series (all designed by Reiner Knizia) containing the following games: P?dz?ce ?ó?wie (Ribbit) P?dz?ce Je?e (Bucket Brigade) P?dz?ce ?limaki
