Dem Yeti wird’s zu bunt

RED PLUS YELLOW RESULTS IN ORANGE

The Yeti feels that his home country is too white and monochrome, so he goes off to explore and manages to find a research facility with a color laboratory and so he starts experimenting and mixing colors.

In this way he discovers and gets to know secondary colors, players assist him. The front side of the color tiles shows two test tubes with two basic colors, the back side of the tile one test tube with the secondary color resulting from mixing the two basic colors. Those tiles are laid out in a circle, the color table is placed in the middle and the Yeti starts his journey on any tile. You roll the die: For one, two or three pips you move the Yeti accordingly and then name the secondary color of the tile on which the Yeti has ended his move. When you name the correct color you can take a color dab in the one of the basic colors on the front side of the tile. The tile is turned back over to show the basic colors and the Yeti is put back on it. If you roll a star you choose a tile and name the secondary color. If you are first to have collected three dabs of the same color or four different ones, you win the game.

When players are already well familiar with colors, you can lay out the color tiles showing the secondary colors and you must name both basic colors in order to get a color dab. Or you can lay out the tiles any way you want, play without the color board for checking and do not turn back the tiles to their previous side after checking.

A very nice game on basic and secondary colors, nicely illustrated and quickly explained, a good game for getting familiar with the concept of secondary colors.
