Kugelblitz 2002

Each player holds a clear plastic tube. A large round pool contains lots of small balls with numbers 1-0 on them, in different colors. The bottom of the tubes has an elastic opening; press a tube onto a ball, and it gets picked up into the tube.

A task card gets revealed. Simultanous, each player trys to collect the balls depicted on the card in the correct order in his tube. The first player who finishes the task calls stop. If he did it correct, he scores three points; otherwise, each other player scores one point.

There are 3 types of task on each card: - a color sequence (for example, red - yellow - green - blue - green - yellow - red) - a number sequence (for example, 3 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4) - a target number; in this case, players have to collect any balls that add up to this number. Players agree in before what kind of task they use; the color sequences is suitable for smaller children, number sequence rewards knowledge of the numbers; target number requires basic addition / subtraction skill.

The game ends after a predefined number of rounds (task cards). The player with the highest points total is the winner.
