Leo muss zum Friseur

meeting friends slows you down

Lion Leo needs get a haircut, but on the way he meets friends and loses time. A path from Leos bed to the to the hairdresser’ saloon is laid out. The back of the path tiles shows jungle scenes, the front side a color plus animal and number value or a signpost. The hand of the clock points to 8 and Leo’s head plus four parts of his mane are laid out. Movement cards of values 1-5 have different colors, they are shuffled and dealt evenly to all players.

You play a movement card and Leo advances as many steps. The path tile he reaches is turned over: If it is an animal tile with another color than the card that was played Leo loses as many hours as indicated, the clock hand is moved accordingly and the path tile remains open. When the color of the path tile and card correspond or a signpost was revealed, Leo does not lose time. If Leo reaches the hairdresser before the hand of the clock arrives at 8 again, all players win the game together. If Leo is not on time for the hairdresser, one part of the mane is added to Leo’s head and a new round begins. The path tiles are turned back over in unchanged sequence and the movement cards are dealt again. All players, hopefully, will remember which path tiles should remain hidden because they cost Leo too much time. Leo has a total of five rounds to reach the hairdresser on time or else all lose the game together.

A game for children bordering on family game, a felicitous mix of memory and cooperation, a challenge that is fun to play! The illustrations are enchanting and the level of difficulty is exactly right!
