Description
The Rolling Moon is a classic action-packed board game that's all about skill and a little bit of luck. Published back in 1959, this game has been entertaining families and friends for generations. Designed for 2 to 6 players, it's the perfect addition to any game night, and with a playtime of just 30 minutes, you can easily fit in a few rounds. The rules are super simple, so you can dive right in and start playing without needing to spend hours learning complicated rules. The game itself is all about dexterity and timing. Players take turns trying to slide two metal rods apart, just enough to make a large steel ball roll "uphill" towards the higher scoring holes. It sounds easy, but trust us, it's not as simple as it sounds. The rods are placed just slightly narrower than the ball, so you need to get the timing just right to make it to the higher scoring holes. As you progress, the challenge gets tougher, and the width of the rods at the highest scoring hole is roughly the diameter of the ball, requiring real concentration and skill to get it just right. The goal is to be the first player to score 5,000 or more points, and with increasingly higher point values as you make your way up the board, the tension builds as you try to outdo your opponents. The Rolling Moon is a game that's all about action, dexterity, and a bit of friendly competition. With its unique gameplay and simple rules, it's a game that's fun for all ages, and its retro charm makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a classic gaming experience.
