Der Großwildjäger

At the start of the game, the Hunter rolls a single die and rotates the cage clockwise by the number of spaces rolled. The remaining players place their animals on "Start" and take turns rolling both dice, moving one of their animals forward along the path according to the number rolled. A player may not move both of their animals on a single turn. If a player rolls a double six, they are entitled to roll again. If the Lion lands on the same space as the Antelope, the Leopard, or the Gorilla, those animals must return to Start. To avoid an encounter with the Hunter or the Lion, the other animals may utilize shortcuts. The Hunter can only capture an animal when it is his turn—that is, immediately before or after rotating the cage. He can only capture an animal that is positioned directly in front of the cage door. If this is the case, the ring located at the top of the cage is carefully pulled upward as far as it will go, causing the animal to walk into the cage opening. While the ring is held up to keep the animal trapped inside, the Hunter triggers the cage door lever, thereby closing the cage; the animal is now securely caught in the trap. The ring may then be carefully allowed to slide back down to its original position. If this procedure is not executed with precision, the animal may potentially escape. In this instance, he is permitted to continue his path from the nearest adjacent space. Certain areas of the playing field are safe and are not subject to the Hunter's influence. These are marked in blue. An animal located within this area cannot be captured. Should an animal situated on a blue circle be displaced by chance, it returns to the circle it previously occupied. If an animal comes under the influence of the moving cage, it is returned to its starting position. The winner of the game is the player who is the first to guide one of their animals to the finish line, or the Hunter, if he has captured all the animals in his cage.
