Klettermaxe

The wall of the house is divided into 64 spaces, of which 32 are represented by windows. There is climbing on the 32 sections of wall. The following are involved in the game: 4 police officers and Klettermaxe (cat burglar).
At the beginning of the game, the 4 policemen are hanging on the four lowest wall sections. Klettermaxe can start wherever he wants.
Klettermaxe and each policeman climb alternately by 1 space. Klettermaxe can go back and forth. The cops can only go forward.
If Klettermaxe manages to slip through the police chain, he wins. If he is trapped in such a way that he can no longer make a climbing move, the policeman who made the last move is the winner and may play Klettermaxe in the next game.
The game can be played by 2, 3 or 5 players, with 2 players one takes all 4 policemen, with 3 players 2 take 2 policemen each.

The game was published about 1950.
