Preparation
Place the board on the table and put the keyhole plate in the middle. All the players take a set
of code cards, shuffle them, and place their pile face down in the allotted space next to them.
All players turn over the first four code cards in their pile and place them in front of them. Each
player places a fifth code card face up on the board as shown in the diagram.
The access cards are shuffled and placed in a pile face down. The top four access cards are
placed face up around the keyhole plate as shown in the diagram. The guest cards are shuffled
and placed in a pile face down. Each player takes four guest cards, tries to memorize the
coloured figures on the cards, and places the four cards face down in front of them.

Aim of the game
The winner is the first person to collect six access cards.
How to play
Each access card has a coloured figure and access rights to four doors (the doors are marked
as “Tür” on the access cards and keyhole plate).
All the players try to put together their four code cards as quickly as possible so that they match
one of the four access cards around the keyhole plate. The idea is to arrange the code cards so
that when the keyhole plate is laid precisely over them, they show exactly the same coloured
figure and access rights to the four doors as given on the Access card.
If a player thinks their colour code is correct, they call out “Access granted”, and turn the three
access cards on the board that do not match their
colour code face down. Now the player lays the keyhole
plate over the code cards that they have arranged to
see whether the colours match the access card that is
still face up.
Colour code correct
The player takes and keeps the access card.
For the exception to this, see: Guests have free access.
Colour code wrong
The access card is left on the board. The player has to give up one of their guest cards. If the
player does not have any more guest cards, they have to give up one of the access cards they
have earned in the game.
After checking with the keyhole plate, the player turns over the four cards they have used. They
place their own code cards at the bottom of their discard pile. They give other players’ code
cards back to the players they were taken from, who place them in a pile face up. Once a player
has four code cards on the face-up pile, they can exchange them for an access card. They place
the code cards at the bottom of their discard pile. At the end of the round, the three access
cards that have been turned face down on the board are turned face up again. Another access
card is added if required, and a new round begins.
Code cards
1. While putting together their colour codes, each player can exchange one of their four code
cards with one of the code cards on the board.
2. At the end of a round, all players can replace their four code cards with new ones. Players put
their own code cards at the bottom of their own discard pile. If they have other players’ code
cards, they place them on the face-up pile of the player they were taken from.
Guests have free access
Once a player has placed a correct colour code, another player can intervene by calling out
“That’s my guest” and turning one of their guest cards face up. If the coloured figure on the
guest card matches the coloured figure on the access card, this player gets the access card. If
it does not match, the player who placed the colour code keeps the access card. In both cases
the guest card is taken out of the game.
End of the game
The game ends when a player has collected six access cards. The winner!
