This game was published and sold out in 1998. It was completely made by hand in the common room of Joris' student house in a print run of about 20. We recently found one last copy.
After we had put it on the website, it was sold within 30 minutes...
Poor old chameleon! It accidentally swallowed a very colourful fruitfly
and is now dangerously ill. It has the rainbowvirus; instead of being
able to change colour when it chooses to do so, every move it makes
causes his colour to change. It cannot hide anymore in the fashion of
healthy chameleons by cleverly changing its colour to match his
surroundings. Our chameleon must jump to a flower of the colour it is
changing into. With a bit of luck and planning, however, our chameleon
should be able to get to the chameleon doctor and back home safely to
get better. You can help it by planting flowers of the right colour in
its path to make it safer. Or more dangerous for others...
Chameleo Chameleo is a strategic game which makes the players puzzle
intensively over colourful patterns and complex shapes for about one
and a half hours. It is played on a cloth painted with coloured triangles.
For each player a colour wheel determines in which order he may go to
fields of different colours. By laying coloured tiles on the cloth,
and sometimes by changing a colour in the colour wheel, players try to
match the playing area with their colour wheels. At the same time they
try to put their tiles so as to make sure that the other players get
the wrong colour in the wrong place, so that they must go a long
way round.
The trial edition contains a playing cloth, 6 colour wheels, 60 cardboard
colour tokens, 90 cardboard triangular tiles, 12 paperclip-tokens and
rules in three languages (Dutch, German, English). All trial copies
available for sale, have been sold.
