The game theme is based on the comics of Isnogud who always tries to become caliph instead of the actual caliph Harun al Pussah.
The game is about jewels. Isnogud tries to hold four different colors of them to win.
At the beginning Tunichgud (Assistent of Isnogud) has 1 of each 4 colors and Isnogud has 4 from each color.
On a player's turn he rolls the die and moves his 1 figure clockwise or anticlockwise on the track.
If the color of the field is equal with the 1 of the stone Colors the player gets one of this from Isnogud.
If the players have all 5 stones of 1 color they win.
If the Color of the field is black, one of the 12 cards is opened. They show 8 times Isnogud and 4 times the caliph.
If the card shows the fourth caliph the players win if it shows the sixth Isnogud the players lose.
