Mensch ärgere Dich nicht 2024

Mensch ärgere Dich nicht (English: Hey, Don't Get Angry) is a German board game (but not a German-style board game). The name derives from the fact that a peg is sent back to the "out" field when another peg lands on it, similar to the later game Sorry! It is a cross and circle game with the circle collapsed onto the cross, similar to the Indian game Pachisi, the Colombian game Parqués, the American games Parcheesi, Aggravation, and Trouble, the French game Jeu des petits chevaux, and the English game Ludo.

The most played variant of the game can be played by two, three or four players – one player per board side. The special one has a pattern for six players. Each player has four game pieces, which are in the "out" area when the game starts, and which must be brought into the player's "home" row.
