• Consequences of hitting a Hufeisen in the Schmiede: If the movement disc hits a Hufeisen that is in the Schmiede, that Hufeisen is placed on the table. If the movement disc does not hit the Hufeisen, it is placed back on top of the Schmiede.

Tips for Winning

• Try to maneuver the movement disc through the Schmiede to collect Hufeisen, as they can be used to flick at targets immediately.
• Use the collected Hufeisen to knock down opponents, as this causes the opponent's Hufeisen to be placed on the table, and your Hufeisen returns to the Schmiede, allowing for new opportunities.
