In Der geheimnisvolle Brunnen, players explore a magical well by placing hidden imp discs inside it and slowly revealing them with a rotating whirlpool mechanism.
Each round, players take turns placing two frogs on lily pads next to the imps they believe will appear, with frogs allowed to stack on top of each other to form towers that influence scoring order. Once the whirlpool has turned and the imp disc is visible, players score points by checking which frogs are correctly placed: those next to revealed imps earn winning cards with gold coins, awarded in the order the frogs were stacked, while frogs in the wrong place earn nothing.
After each round, frogs are returned, the next player becomes the starting player, and a new imp disc is placed in the well. The game continues for three rounds (or more if desired), and at the end the players reveal their winning cards, count the gold coins, and whoever has collected the most wins.
