Bauernroulette Game

Bauernroulette is a wheel game invented in Germany. The name of the game shows this is a "poor man's roulette", as “Bauer” is German for 'peasant', 'farmer' etc. The game is played with the help of a wooden circular playing surface with 6 balls (4 white, 1 red, and 1 green) and the spinning top. The balls are placed on the top and when spinning they bounce off and land in one of the hollow spaces or pass to the chambers outside the area of spinning surface. The aim of the game is to have the ball land in one of the chambers, which brings the most points.

Step-by-step Rules

Bauernroulette has a bit strange wheel
but the principle is the same.

1. The balls (4 white, 1 red, and 1 green) are placed in the center of the playing field
2. The top is placed near them and spinned (some players claim to remain the top spinning for over 30 seconds)
3. The balls bounce off and are shot into the hollows or bowls
4. Each hollow and bowl has a point value, the points are added for each ball there
5. In case some or all balls fall off the playing surface, they can not be replaced and are not participating in this round.
6. The red ball doubles its points in case hits a hollow
7. The green ball subtracts indicated points from overall sum gained by other balls
8. In case the player gets scores for all 6 balls, he has the right to spin the top again
9. The aim of the game is to reach the overall total agreed before the game, usually 1000 points.
