Wallamoppi® - The Fast Stacking Game   What's in the Box 18 Dark Kiwi Disks 18 Light Kiwi Disks Wooden Box with built-in Timer 1 Timer Marble (and 1 replacement marble) Kiwi Disk Bag Quick Play Rules   The Object of Wallamoppi In a race against time, players take turns removing disks from the Wallamoppi wall, and stacking them on top to form a tower. The last player to stack a disk, in time, without making the tower fall, wins Wallamoppi!   Setting Up 1. Remove the Kiwi Disk Bag from the box. 2. Give one player a dark Kiwi Disk and the other player a light Kiwi Disk. These disks indicate the color each player will be stacking during Step 2 of the game. The other 34 disks remain in the bag. 3. Stand the box upright, within reach of both players, with the hole for the marble on top. 4. Attach the chute to the box, as shown. 5. Keep one marble for use in the timer and set the extra marble aside.   Playing the Game Wallamoppi is played in two steps. Players start by strategically placing disks to build the Wallamoppi wall. After the wall is built, players will quickly remove disks from the wall and carefully stack them on top to form a tower.     Step 1: Building the Wall Without looking in the bag, the person playing “dark” draws one disk out of the bag and places that disk flat on the table. The person playing “light” now draws a disk out of the bag and places it next to the disk already played. Players continue taking turns placing one disk at a time until all disks from the bag have been placed. To complete the Wallamoppi wall, the person playing “dark” places the dark disk received at the beginning of the game. The other player now places his or her light disk on top. • Each player must place the disk drawn, regardless of the color of the disk. • Each disk must be placed next to another disk or centered on top of two disks. • Disks must be placed in a straight line. • The completed wall must have eight disks in the bottom row, seven disks in the next row and so on, ending with one disk on top.   The top light Kiwi Disk is the first disk of the tower. Notes: The pattern of light and dark disks in the wall will vary with each game, depending upon the placement of the pieces. Players should consider that although each player is placing both light and dark disks, they will be removing and stacking only their own colored disks while building the tower.   Step 2: Building the Tower Within the allotted time, players take turns removing their own colored disks from the Wallamoppi wall and stacking them on top of the tower. 1. The person playing “light” starts the timer for the other player by dropping the marble in the hole at the top of the box. 2. The person playing “dark” must remove one dark disk from the Wallamoppi wall, stack it on the top light Kiwi Disk, and grab the marble before it drops into the hole at the end of the chute. 3. The person playing “dark” now drops the marble to start the timer for the other player. 4. The person playing “light” must remove one light disk from the Wallamoppi wall, stack it on the top dark Kiwi Disk, and grab the marble before it drops into the hole at the end of the chute. 5. Players continue taking turns until the tower falls or until the marble drops into the hole at the end of the chute.   If the marble drops into the hole at the end of the chute before a player has stacked a disk and grabbed the marble, that player loses the game.       • A player may not touch a disk in the wall until the other player has started the timer by releasing the marble. • A player may only use one hand to remove or stack a disk, but may switch hands at any time. • A player may touch more than one disk within the wall, as long as it is done with only one hand. • In the course of removing a disk from the wall, other disks may shift. Those disks stay in their new positions. • If a disk in the wall falls when another disk is removed, the fallen disk remains where it lands and may be stacked during a later turn rather than a disk from the wall. • Once a disk is removed, and in a player’s hand, it must be stacked on top of the tower. • A player may only stack one disk on the tower per turn. • When placing a disk on the tower, a player may not move any of the disks already in the tower. • If one or more disks in the tower falls, the tower is considered fallen and the game is over. • If the tower falls, the last player to touch a disk, either in the tower or the wall, loses the game. Winning the Game   The last player to place a disk, in time, without making the tower fall, wins Wallamoppi.
