Description

"Hamsterdam is the best dam game around."

"The flood waters are piling up and the noblest of creatures are all that remain to protect us."

How to play:
Create a "dam" made up of a line of cards numbered 2 through 12 and distribute your hamster cards (20 regular + 2 special) on top of the numbered cards. Take turns rolling the dice to see which spot in the damn is weakened. If a hamster is on top of that number, that hamster is used to plug to the hole and is placed to the side in a reserve pile to come back into play in the next round. If a hamster is not on that number, a flood token is placed there until the end of the round, at which time it can be removed by taking a hamster card permanently out of play. If a flood token is already located on a number that is rolled, another flood token is placed in a special pile of tokens belonging to that player which cannot be removed. As flood tokens pile up, your stock of hamster saviors dwindles, and flood tokens pile up all the faster. The game ends when any player accumulates 10 flood tokens (counting both those in the permanent pile and those currently on the dam). The winner is the player with the fewest flood tokens. In the case of a tie, the player with the most remaining hamster cards wins.
