Schüttel’s

About this board game

Schüttel’s is a game of luck and skill for 2–6 players, with a play time of about 30 minutes. Players take the role of wizards who pour giddy gnomes from a magic cup in the sky.

Welcome to Wonder Valley, where the lazy bakers and dozy carpenters are suddenly facing a rush of activity. Your magic can help business boom, but success depends on shaking out the appropriate number of gnomes repeatedly.

Each shakeup is a chance to turn magical mayhem into prosperity. Get the number of gnomes you need, and you can claim a share of the wealth. The game’s central challenge combines good fortune with the skill to make the right shake at the right time.

• Play as wizards bringing giddy gnomes to Wonder Valley.
• Shake an appropriate number of gnomes from the magic cup.
• Seek a share of the wealth while trying to avoid the pillory.

Magic does not always behave as planned. If your shakeup goes wrong, you may end up at the pillory, and that costly outcome benefits the other players to their mischievous delight.

With its whimsical setting, memorable gnomes, and simple push toward profitable shakes, Schüttel’s creates a lively contest built around anticipation and risk. Will your magic keep Wonder Valley thriving, or will an unlucky result leave you exposed at the pillory?
