Alles Im Eimer (The Bucket King) - Online Guide

Starting The Game

With /join 3-6 players can join the game. With /start the game begins. Alternatively, you can use the Game Tool!

The Goal of the Game

At the beginning of the game, each player forms a pyramid of 15 buckets by dragging buckets from the supply window to the vacant spots. As soon as all players have done this, and clicked on the green "OK" bucket in the supply window, the game starts.

Der Startspieler, bzw. der Spieler, der einen Eimer abgerissen hat, spielt 1 - 3 Karten einer beliebigen Farbe aus. Der folgende Spieler muss nun überbieten oder Eimer abreißen. Doch Vorsicht: Die Tücken der Physik wurden beachtet und es fallen auch Eimer, die keinen Halt mehr haben.

At the end, the player with the most buckets remaining wins.

The Interface

When it is your turn you have two possibilities:

- Play one or more cards (in the color being played) to play higher than the previous total. Select your cards by clicking on them then click on the green "OK" bucket. You then have three seconds exactly to take another card to replenish your hand. Click on the deck of cards icon to take a card.

Note: No matter how many cards you played from your hand, you may only take one new card!

or

- Remove a bucket of the color currently in play. Click on the red bucket then select the bucket to remove. If you don't have a bucket of the current color, you can remove any bucket. You can choose to remove a bucket even if you could have played a higher card total.

If your pyramid fragments into two groups then one whole group must be removed. Click on one of the red crosses to choose which group to discard.
