About Janus
The aim of the game is to remove as many of the tablets lying on the board as possible by means of clever manipulation of the playing figure (column)and thus to win as much as possible of the square made up of four fields. The tablet that is removed is always that which the column stood on last. The person who removes the last of the four tablets, wins that square and occupies the payment circle with one of his or her coins. The points are added up at the end of the game. The version from 1988 is part of the Franckh-Kosmos/ 'Edition Perlhuhn' series.
