Information
has glosseng: Bauernroulette is a game that was apparently invented in Germany, where several companies sell it. The name Bauernroulette indicates it is a "poor mans roulette", since Bauer is German for peasant, farmer or one of a chiefly European class of agricultural laborers' . In Bauernroulette, a spinning top is spun in the middle of a wooden circular playing surface that contains 6 wooden balls. The balls bounce off the top in random directions, and sometimes land within one of several hollow indentations within the surface, or pass through a small hole into chambers that are located outside the spinning surface area. Typically, the most points are scored by landing balls within these outer chambers. Skilled players are often able to spin the top such that it remains in motion for more than 30 seconds.
