Lure snakes out into the open!

Colorful striped snakes are lured out into the open by guessing at their colored rings. The snakes in the game show a colored ring and a black ring alternately, the black parts are only intended for clear separation of the colors; they do not play any role in the game at all. The possible colors on a snake are Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange and Purple. You draw three snakes from the bag and place them behind your screen, their head is sticking out into the open at the other side. In your turn you ask another player for a color: When one of his snakes shows this color on the front-most ring (nearest to screen) the snake advances out into the open exactly that far and you can pose another question. When the color appears on the snake, but further back on it, the questioned player answered with “later” and your turn ends. If none of the snakes shows the color you receive „no luck“ and your turn ends, too. When more than one snake of the questioned player shows the color in demand as the currently foremost one, all must be moved forward accordingly. If you discard one of your flutes you can ask all players at the same time for a color; if there is at least one “yes” answer, you have another turn. If you have lured a snake completely out into the open you take it and her previous owner draws a new one and places it behind his bush. If someone is out of snakes and cannot draw a new one you win with most snakes.

Enchanting, simple and very attractive – this is how a memo game can look and work! Luck and memory are very well balanced it it is lots of fun to lure the snakes out from their hideout in the bushes.
