Das Original Malefiz-Spiel is the official PC version of the board game Malefiz. The rules: Every player (up to four) has five meeples which he has to bring in the goal on top of the board. The design of the board is not linear but with various junctions.

After every throw of the dice the player can decide which meeple he uses and in which direction he wants to go. In general the rule is that a field has to be reached directly when the player wants to interact with it, be it the goal or other meeples to send them back to the beginning. The special gimmick of the game are barricades which can't be jumped over. When a player reaches a barricade exactly he can place it on any field he wants (excluding the lowest row) to block the opponent's way or to protect his own.

This game features the typical new features of board translations: Playing against AI opponents, enhanced graphics and multiplayer options. [source:mobygames]
