Looking For Beer: the Hasher board game




Image above reveals board with secret markings exposed. At start of came, each circle is covered with a flat circular disk, that gets uncovered when a player moves his/er piece on it. Hashers take turns at start, and off they go ! At each turn, they choose on which adjacent circle to go. Once moved their piece on the circle, they wait the beginning of their next turn to uncover the circle from the disk covering it. On-On reveals flour markings, aka possibly true trail leading to the beer, check indicates that trail can go in any direction, false means the trail dead-ends, and shiggy means unforeseen obstacles, slowing down the hasher to lose his next turn.

Object of the game is to find as many Beer stops.

Each hasher is given three RU cards. If a hasher is located adjacent to another hasher, and at the beginning of his turn he wishes to find out if that other hasher is on trail or not, he/she can play a RU card and force the adjacent hasher to uncover the circle of the other hasher.

... and add some chance cards, like

"you followed Moon. Lose two turns"
