In Koole Klötze ("Cool Blocks"), you need to quickly build sculptures from random bits of wood and hope that others can figure out what you've created.
To set up, place the numbered hexagon in the center of the table, then lay out six construction cards next to the numbers. Lay the 17 wooden bits in a circle around the cards, then place the arrow next to a bit to create a starting point in the line. Each player takes a set of cards numbered 1-6.
The first player takes the first six bits in line, along with the building platform and sunglasses, then shuffles their deck and secretly looks at the bottommost card. They now have 30 seconds to use the wooden bits to recreate the image on the associated construction card, balancing bits as they wish, but not moving them to create an animated scene.
The other players can each play one card face down into the central hexagon to guess which construction card the active player is building. Once time runs out or everyone has guessed, the active player forecasts how many others correctly guessed the answer, then reveals all the cards. Whoever first guessed the correct answer scores 2 points, with the second correct guesser earning 1 point. If at least one person guessed correctly, the builder scores 1 point, and if they forecast correctly, they score a bonus 1 point.
The builder then places all used bits at the end of the line and passes unused bits to the next player clockwise, with that player taking bits from the line as needed to have six on hand.
After everyone has been builder twice (with 5-6 players) or thrice (with 3-4 players), whoever has the most points wins.
