PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Baumhaus-Party

Who lives on which floor?

 

All inmates of the tree-house are roaming all over the house, but somehow they are not really happy with their current location and what to get back into their own surroundings as soon as possible. Players are assisting the animals and take them back to their own floor in the tree house. Each player shuffles his animals of one color and places one tile face-down on each floor and into the lift; you may look at the tile in the lift. In your turn you roll the die: Depending on the result the lift is moved one or two floors up or down, is not moved when the stop sign is rolled or you can move it to any floor you like or leave the lift where it is when you roll the star. On the floor where the lift stops you can swap your tile there with the tile from the lift. You can look at the new tile in the lift. You cannot look at a tile without swapping it; if you think an animal is already in its own floor you need not look and swap. If you think that all your animals have reached their own floor, you call out “All my animals are home” and you have to check the tiles: If you are correct you win the game. If you are wrong, your tiles are collected, re-shuffled and distributed on the free spaces on all floors again and for a start you can look again at the tile in the lift.

Well, all in all, it’s just a memo, but a cute and somewhat different game of memory, with a funny topic, especially the detail of one animal living in the lift; the amount to memorize is not huge, but you cannot afford to miss an opportunity to swap two of your animals you want to be the first to have all animals home!
