Materials:

1 game board
12 playing cards (with pictures of the area)
12 wooden dices (with the same pictures as on cards)

6 pawns
2 dices 

Aim of the game:  Players start their trip and try to visit as many wooden dices as possible and remember their pictures. Then they go to Clear Mountain (Jasna Gora) to get matching cards. The one who collects most cards  wins the game. 

 

 

Preparation:  Wooden dices have to be mixed and put down near 12 coloured fields. Nobody knows which picture is where. Every player gets a pawn and puts it down on the start in Krakow. The cards are also mixed and put (face down) near the game board, the first one is uncovered. The youngest player starts the game.
How to play: The players play clockwise. They have to play with two dices. Pawns start from Krakow and move on the Jurassic Plateau getting to know its heritage, world of animals and plants and other  peculiarities.

Moving pawns: Every dice is tossed alone. You can move forward or backward,  but you have to move in one direction according to the number on both dices.

Return: If one player stands on the occupied place that pawn has to go back to the start-Krakow and start the game again.

Discovering pictures: The one who puts its pawn on a coloured field, can carefully take a look under the wooden dice to see the picture. The other  players mustn’t see the picture!

Moving to Clear Mountain: You only can get to Clear Mountain by tossing the exact number. You can also move your pawn by tossing only one dice. If you can’t get to Clear Mountain you can also move your pawn backwards and then forwards until you get the right number on the dice.

Getting cards: If you arrive to Clear Mountain you have to look under the  wooden dice where you think that picture from the card is, other players mustn’t see the picture. If you are wrong you put it back down  on its place and put you pawn back to Krakow. It is the next player turn.If the player finds the right picture (under the wooden dice), he shows it to the rest of players puts it back and collects the card. The  next one is uncovered and another player continues, he can look for the picture or tosses the dice and leaves Clear Mountain. If the new pawns comes to Clear Mounta in the one which is already there moves to Krakow.

Magic: If the player tosses the even number on both dices he can practice magic:

-         move to any coloured field and look under the wooden dice

-         move to Clear Mountain

-         uncover the next playing card 

End of the game:  The one who collects the most cards is the winner.
