Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Tipsy!
Pick up the board, for 2 players and ages 8 and up, for 10 to 20 minutes, to remove the correct pieces without removing the others!
In Tipsy, the first player to place their 6 pucks on the corresponding patterned side of each puck color or to successfully flip the black puck.
The game board is placed on the wooden base, then on a flat surface between the two players. Each player chooses their color and gets their 6 pucks of that color. The black puck belongs to no one.
Players place the pucks pattern-side down on the starting squares. The black piece is placed in the center of the board, and the pieces of the same color are staggered with those of the other color. In Tipsy, you have the choice between achieving one of the following two objectives:
- Remove your 6 pucks or place them so that they can be removed during future tilts.
- Remove the black puck or place it so that it can be removed during future tilts.
The die is rolled, and the player with the highest score begins the game. Players take turns rolling the die to determine how many tilts they have to move their own colored pieces or the black piece.
To tilt the game board, you must tilt it completely on the side you intended to tilt it. You can choose to prepare your tokens to be removed or block your opponent's tokens, preventing them from being removed. The pucks must land on one of the authorized areas when tilting the game board. Then, the player places the game board flat on the table before performing another tilt.
The red or blue puck that comes out, whether the pattern is visible or not, is placed face up on an empty space on the board at the end of the player's turn. The player can place their pucks offensively to more easily move their other pucks toward the exit. They can also place them defensively to prevent their opponents' pucks from approaching the exit.
The pucks that come out are only placed back on the board at the end of the player's turn. During their turn, if they knock one or more of their opponent's pucks out, they are penalized. Their opponent can then replace their pucks with the pattern visible on the board before they can replace their own.
If a player knocks out the black puck during their turn, they automatically win the game. Even if the other player had managed to place 5 pucks with the pattern visible on the spaces, they cannot place their last palace if it had been knocked out of the board. The first player to place their six pucks with the pattern visible or to knock out the black puck wins the game. In a more challenging mode, as soon as a piece is knocked out, it returns the other way, whether the pattern is visible or not.
Have a good day and good game ;)
