Ene mene miste
..was hat der Wombat in der Kiste?
Wombat has collecting a lot of things for his treasure chest, and those things are depicted also on picture cards. Each card shows four different items, each of them is depicted once, twice or three times. The game features 30 cards; for a game of 2nd grade school children two cards are laid out face up, 14 more are stacked for the current game. In each round a third card is turned up. All players now search for items that are depicted on a minimum of two cards and add up all those items.
Two frogs and three torches, for instance, at up to a total of five items. If you are first to name the correct sum, you are awarded one card, but not the one that was turned up last. You may only name one solution; if you miscalculated you must pass for the rest of the round. When there is no solution, because there are no identical items on different cards - which happens very rarely - the award card goes to the player who first calls "zero". When you cannot turn up a third card for the next round anymore, you win with most cards.
For 1st grade pupils you use all cards, but turn up only two of them for a round and you award both cards for the correct solution. For children from ages 8+ you play with a total of four cards, award one card for the correct solution and can use all 30 cards in a game.
Ene mene miste is a simple, but attractive game of spotting and counting; a well-made educational game for paying attention, close observation and quick mental arithmetic. Items are clearly drawn and easily recognized and familiar to children. All in all a nice, easy-to-carry-along training for adding up!
