Setup

1. Prepare the Game Board: Place the game board on a flat surface.
2. Place the Game Mat: Lay the game mat over the designated area on the game board.
3. Distribute Pins: Insert the 32 pins into the holes on the game board as indicated by the game's design. These pins will serve as axles for the gears.
4. Place Ghost Figures: Position the 3 ghost figures on the designated purple gears with rotary knobs.
5. Shuffle Building Cards: Shuffle the 16 building cards and place them face down in a draw pile near the game board.
6. Prepare Gears and Die: Keep the 12 colored gears and the symbol die within easy reach of all players.

How to Play

The primary goal of Logi-Geister is to arrange the gears on the game board so that when one gear is turned, all connected gears, including those with ghost figures, rotate simultaneously.

Standard Game Variant (Ages 5-10)

1. Starting the Game: Players take turns drawing a building card. Each card shows a specific arrangement of gears that needs to be replicated on the game board.
2. Placing Gears: Players use the colored gears to connect the pins on the game board according to the pattern on their drawn card. The gears must interlock correctly to transmit movement.
3. Testing the Mechanism: Once a player believes they have completed the pattern, they turn one of the purple gears with a rotary knob. If all connected gears, including those with ghost figures, rotate, the player has successfully completed the card.
4. Winning the Game: The game can be played cooperatively, with players working together to solve the puzzles, or competitively, where the first player to complete a set number of cards wins.

Advanced Game Variant (More Challenging)

In this variant, each player receives their own building plan (card) and attempts to place the gears independently. This encourages individual problem-solving and strategic planning.

• Each player receives a specific number of building cards to complete.
• Players simultaneously work on their own board sections or take turns to place gears on a shared board, aiming to fulfill their card's requirements.
• The symbol die can be used to introduce random elements, such as which type of gear must be placed next or which ghost figure must rotate.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe game components with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store all game components in their original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
• Handling: Handle gears and pins carefully to avoid bending or breaking. Ensure all small parts are accounted for after each play session.

Troubleshooting

Gears do not rotate smoothly or at all:

• Ensure all gears are properly interlocked and seated on their pins.
• Check for any obstructions or debris between the gear teeth.
• Verify that the pins are securely inserted into the game board.
