Game Set Up

Decide which side of the game board you want to

play. Put the 2 pieces of the game board together for

that side and place it in the middle of your playing

area.

Place the hiker on Friedberg.

Sort the cards using the colored backs. Only use the

cards that match the side of the game board you

have chosen. Put the remaining cards back into the

box.

Shufe the cards thoroughly and deal each player a

hand of 4 cards. Each player may look at their hand

but should keep it secret from the other players.

Place the remaining cards as a face down draw deck

next to the game board.

Goal of the Game

In this game you will be hiking through the cities

and communities of the Wetterau. The catch: Players

guide a single hiker along the paths trying to direct

the hiker to locations that match the cards they

have in their hand.

If the hiker reaches a location that you have 1 or

more of in your hand of cards, you may place them

face up in front of you. Whoever has played the most

cards at the end of the game wins.

Game Play

The youngest player starts the game, then play pro-

gresses clockwise. On your turn, you must perform

at least 1 of the 2 following actions. You may also

perform both actions in the order listed:

1. Move the Hiker

2. Play Location Cards

Move the Hiker

Move the hiker further along the path 1 location in

the direction of your choice.

If you have 2 (or even 3) cards of the same location

in your hand, you may move the hiker 2 (or even 3)

spaces. However, you may only do so if you reach the

respective location.

Play Location Cards

If the hiker is on a location whose card(s) you have

in your hand, place the card(s) in a face up stack in

front of you.

Then, draw as many new cards from the draw deck

as you have played so that you again have 4 cards in

your hand.

In summary: you may play cards in front of you for

the location where the hiker is already standing.

In this case the hiker does not move and the game

continues with the next player. If you cannot play

any cards in the current location, you must move the

hiker. Then you may play cards for the newly reached

location if you can.

Game End

When a player draws the last card from the draw

deck, the end of the game is triggered.

From now on no new cards can be drawn. The game

continues until 1 player plays his last card(s) in

front of them. Then all other players must discard

their unplayed cards into the box. They do not

count.

Players now count the number of location cards they

have played. The player with the most cards in their

stack wins.

If more than one player has collected the most loca-

tion cards, they share the victory.

You may never move the hiker back along the path

towards the location he last came from. As a re-

minder, always place the hiker in a location so that

his back is facing the last location he has come

from on the path.

Special Case: If may happen that players keep

moving the hiker in a circle without any player

being able to play cards. In this case, if no player

wants to move the hiker out of this circle, the game

ends immediately.

1 double-sided game board (in 2 pieces) 78 cards, 39 cards for each side of the game board.

The color of the card backs matches the corresponding side of

the game board to use.

Goldene

Wetterau

The ancient Romans knew

and appreciated the “Golden

Wetterau” region. The origin

of its name is made clear when

looking at the glowing, gold-

en-yellow grain elds there.

The Wetterau is an extremely

fertile region geographically

bounded in the east by the

Vogelsberg, in the west by the

Taunus range, in the north by the city of Giessen, and

in the south by Frankfurt am Main. Numerous rivers

and streams that originate in the Vogelsberg and the

Taunus range ow through the oodplain landscape.

Whether it was the river Wetter that gave the Wetter-

au its name or whether the name may have come from

the designation “weit Au” (wide oodplain) is open

to discussion.

Due to an exceptionally mild climate, particularly

fertile soils, and a widespread network of waters,

people were already settling in this region thousands

of years ago. The Wetterau is one of the oldest cultur-

al landscapes in Germany and was rst documented

in the Codex Aureus of Lorsch in 779. Even the Limes

(Roman border fortications) stretched through

the Wetterau landscape and are still visible today in

partial preservation.

The Wetterau is a true treasure trove for explorers:

billowing cornelds, blossoming cherry trees, green

meadows, dark forests, pastures and rivers, quarries

with unusual stones, snow covered hills, grapes and

strawberries, kingshers and cranes, and salty hot

springs from the depths of the earth.

Here there is something for everyone; and above all,

traces of our ancestors are evident everywhere.

Celts, Romans, and the Middle Ages have all left

behind plenty of evidence to explore. Follow me into

one of the oldest cultural landscapes in Europe – the

Wetterau!

From the spectacular Celtic nds on the Glauberg,

through the numerous castles and palaces, to the ex-

citing stories surrounding Castle Münzenberg - there

is much to discover.

As an example, it would certainly give one pleasure to

ramble down historical paths and recreate stories of

the past in the town of Büdingen, strongly inuenced

by the Middle Ages.

The Wetterau game presents all players, big and

small, old and young, with the challenge of matching

location cards to the appropriate places. In addition

to learning about our region, children may also learn

about observing the rules, playing well together, and

also how to win, as well as how to lose.

Discover the Golden Wetterau – because the good

things are so close. Go on your own trip of discovery

with the Wetterau game.

I cordially invite you.
