Thanks for the flowers.

And the rule says:
a player with only one stone left no longer has to role dice.

"Ein Stein würfelt nicht" is still the name from the beta-series.
The "true" name will be "EinStein würfelt nicht!" .

Right.

For my own little 3-Hirn-Verlag I have produced a small series
with glass stones. "Edition Perlhuhn" makes the official
version where the pieces are wooden robots.

The Perlhuhn-version will be reviewed in the magazine "spielbox",
in the March issue.

In July 2005, a (touring) exhibition will start with its first station
in Goettingen. Title is

"God does not play dice
 Games in Science - Science in Games".

EinStein is the accompanying game.
