Blue leaf tips for Quills

Igelfreunde

looking for coloful leaves!

Baby hedgehogs want to have quills, but theirs baby are too soft and so they use pointed leaves in their favorite colors for a quill costume. The enchanting hedgehogs are assembled - they remain assembled at the end of the game and fit nicely into the box - and each hedgehog is given a colored eyeglass frame, the frame color denotes the leaf color for the quill costume. All leaves show two pointed tips, with a different color at each tip, the middle of the leaves is always green.

You roll the die - for one or two leaf symbols you draw one or two leaves from the bag and put them on the table - if one of the two tips of a leaf fits the color frame of your hedgehog’s glasses, you put the leaf into the hedgehog, frame color visible. If none of the colors suits your hedgehog, you hand the leaf to a player with a suitable frame color. There are always all four hedgehogs in play, so that each leaf can always be placed.

If you roll the symbol of the Wind, you pull a leaf from another player’s hedgehog and look at the color that was hidden in the hedgehog - if it is the color of your own hedgehog’s frame, you put the leaf into your hedgehog; if not, you put it into the hedgehog of the revealed color. If you do not want to pull a leaf out of a hedgehog or cannot do so, you pull a leaf out of the bag. The hedgehog that carries all seven leaves in his color has the most beautiful quill costume and wins.

Enchanting components, stable and cute, the frame colors of the glasses to mark the quill color are a nice idea! Game mechanics are simple and quickly explained and the colors are easily distinguished. Haba at its best and how we love it!
