Einfach Genial: Wer zu viel riskiert, verliert! ("Simply Ingenious: Whoever Risks Too Much Loses!") invites players into a captivating tile game that shares its roots with the beloved Ingenious board game. In this exciting twist, your goal is to gather points across various colors and symbols, while ensuring you maintain balance by scoring in all categories to truly succeed.

Kick off the game by mixing all 126 tiles (21 for each color/symbol) face down. Reveal three tiles face up to create a shared pool at the center of the table. On your turn, draw a tile from the supply; if it doesn't match the tiles in the pool, add all revealed tiles to the pool and conclude your turn. But if you draw a matching tile, you have the opportunity to either collect the matching tiles in front of you and from the pool to end your turn or draw again for the chance to push your luck!

The race is on to collect seven tiles of each color to claim victory! (In a game with four players, the target is five tiles.) Any excess tiles beyond the required amount are shuffled back into the supply, keeping the stakes high.

Strategic gameplay also includes a clever mechanic: if you have fewer tiles of any color compared to the rest, and a tile of that color is in the pool, you may snatch that tile and end your turn. This rule not only helps you close the gap but also encourages your opponents to strategically remove tiles from the pool.

Additionally, if the pool ever falls below three face-up tiles, it's time to refresh the game! Reveal and add tiles until there are three available, ensuring the action stays lively and unpredictable.

Originally released as one of three games in Fantasy Flight Games' Ingenious Challenges, Einfach Genial: Wer zu viel riskiert, verliert! promises endless fun for enthusiasts of strategy and luck alike.
