I Want My Alpenmacaroni!

---

We stopped in Bern for lunch on the way back to Zurich. Lucerne is a bit nicer, and also in the running for the stopover town, but the train schedule didn't work as well today. We had the chance to try "alpenmacaroni" - noodles with cheese sauce mixed with ham cubes and a bowl of applesauce on the side. It was raining, so we didn't take the time to pay our respects to the bears this year, despite J's desire to do so: The Bears of Bern.

The game ist called Mühle. The aim of the game is to get three of your figures in a row. So for instance: the red player already has three of is red figures in a row. If he manages to put another stone/player at the open gap where already two read stones are laying besides each other than he ist the winner.

this game is called "Mühle" in German. The objective is to have three cones of your colour in row, which than allows you to take one of your opponent's cones.
