About the game

What is Hamster Roll?

Imagine a hamster's exercise wheel made out of wood that's divided into numerous segments, with these segments being separated by low fences. That's the playing surface for Hamster Roll, a dexterity game in which players compete to play all of their pieces first. Everyone starts with seven wooden pieces. On a turn, place one of your pieces somewhere within the wheel, which might move and rotate as a result! If any pieces fall out of the wheel, you must add them to your supply, so try to keep the rolling of that hamster wheel to a minimum...
