Nimmit

Three points for the black sheep

Grabsch revised – One player is starting player of the round and quickly turns over cards from a face-down stack. He holds the stack in one hand and lays down cards with the other open-faced so that the do not overlap. While cards are laid out, all other players may take cards from the table to collect complete cows and sheep. All animals comprise three parts which you need not collect in order, you just need to have a head, a body and a tail for each animal. Collected cards are held in one hand and with the other hand you pick up more cards. While you collect you can change the order of cards in your stack and also put cards back. When the stack is laid out, the round ends and stacks are scored. Each correct triplet of animal cards scores one point, if you collected the complete black sheep it is worth 3 points. Parts of the black sheep in other sheep earn 3 penalty points. When each player has been starting player once or twice, you win with the highest score.

In a variant all cards are heaped on the table open-faced and all search simultaneously, using one hand, cards can be placed on a maximum of three stacks at a time. A stack of three cards is turned over and cannot be altered anymore. You are also allowed to pick up single cards from other players. When all cards have been taken stacks are scored and after four such rounds you win with most points. A memo version is intended for players of ages 4+.

As Grabsch and now as Nimmit this game is a nice challenge for close observation, because cows and sheep in the style of cave drawings are not easily distinguished. A bit challenging for four-year old children.
