Krimskrams

Tidy up and win a nut coin!

Squirrel Edgar has gone a bit overboard with collecting things, he needs to tidy up. Seven chests with a green backside are laid out in a circle and the corresponding knick-knack parts with green backside are laid out face-up within the circle. Edgar starts at any chest of your choice. You roll and move Edgar in clockwise direction; if you roll the acorn you put him next to any chest, If Edgar ends up next to an empty chest you try to place the fitting knick-knack into the chest. If it fits you get a nut coin. If it does not fit you put it back. If Edgar ends up next to a full chest you take the knick-knack out of the chest and put it back into the circle. If you collect five nut coins you win the game.

If you play with the red-backed chests and knick-knacks the game gets a bit more difficult, and you can also play with 14 chests and parts at the same time. In a fast version of the game all play simultaneously, using all 14 chests and parts. You roll the die and all put their fingers to their noses until the die has come to a stop. Now all consider where Edgar would end his move. If the target chest is full, nothing happens, If it is empty all try quickly to snatch up the correct knick-knack for this box, you may only snatch up one piece. Then Edgar is moved and you check who snatched the correct piece. It is put into the chest and this player receives a nut coin.
