Funny Friends Duo

Cat faces cat – a flower earned!

Funny Friends is a series of games in the Beleduc range which always uses the same characters, albeit not always all of them, to transport a variety of game mechanisms and educational contents.

Funny Friends Duo is a dice game featuring four of the Funny Friends; the game is played with four pairs of animals: Two cats, dogs, cows and horses. The animals frolic about on the meadow and help players to collect flowers. The meadow is laid out and the flower tiles are stacked in the middle of the meadow. At the start the animals are placed in front of the board border segments of the same color, that is, they stand opposite to each other, but each animal looks outward, in direction of the players. You roll both color dice and turn around an animal of the color shown on each of the dice. When you have turned two animals and afterwards two identical animals look at each other, that is, towards the middle of the meadow, you are awarded a flower tile. If you manage to turn two identical animals inwards or even make up two pairs facing each other you receive two flower tiles. But you must turn around two animals in your turn: Should the cats face each other and the next player rolls two cats, he cannot turn one cat outwards and back inwards again to earn another flower tile for cats facing each other. If you are first to collect five flower tiles you win.

Funny Friends is an enchanting game for toddlers, thrilling despite extremely simple rules – which animals will face each other next? Will I earn a flower tile? And quite casually children train allocation and recognition of shapes and colors.
