GAME REVIEWS: HAMSTER ROLL

Place your piece in the hamster wheel and watch it roll! But don't let the pieces fall...

- Naomi Laeuchli

Each player takes an identical collection of seven game pieces. The inside of the wheel is divided into a series of compartments. On a player’s turn, they place any one of their pieces into the wheel. They may place it in the same compartment the previous player put a piece in, as long as they are different pieces. Or, they may place a piece in one of the next two compartments. At the start of the game, the first player must leave one compartment beside the cone empty. Players should also choose a direction around the wheel. When checking which compartments a piece can be placed in, players will always use the same direction.
