Klamotten Klamauk

Raccoon in red pants

Raccoons have found a few wardrobes to plunder and are now having a costume-party, players help them to dress and collect costume cards.

Each player takes a Raccoon card; they are very nicely designed, featuring a 3D head, which very neatly also works to fix and hold the collected costume cards in place.

20 Costume cards are spread out image side up and show a raccoon in clothes of different colors, a top and a bottom. The symbol die for clothes shows a side with top+bottom, 2x top, 2x bottom and one side for underwear. The color die shows sides for Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Purple and a „Rainbow“ side with five stripes in those colors for a joker. The active player rolls both dice and selects a card that shows a top or bottom that corresponds to the type of clothing and to the color. If you roll the symbol of top+bottom and, for  instance red, you can take two cards, one with a red top and another with a red bottom on the raccoon. When there is no suitable card left, you pass your turn. If you roll the rainbow, you can take any card. If you are unlucky and roll the underwear symbol, your raccoon undresses and you must give back all cards that you collected. Whoever has five cards first, wins.

In a memo version you only roll the color die and turn over one of the face-down costume cards. When top or bottom on the card show the dice color, you take the card. When all cards are given out, you win with most of them.

Games on the topic of dress are always favorites with children, this one is a very simple and especially nice example for that type of game, and I like the Raccoons! Nothing new, but very attractive!
