PLAYED FOR YOU

Kuck Ruck Zuck

The cat takes a picture of lion and snake

The zoo animals have snatched a camera from visiting tourists and take pictures of each other; the zookeepers find only pictures, and, behold, some of them look as if a zookeeper had taken it! Who really did take which picture?

All snapshot cards show two animals, one large in the foreground and one smaller in the background. Depending on the version of the game you want to play, you shuffle the cards with a dark green border or all cards and deal six cards to each player; the starting player is given an additional card. Then the starting player reveals the top card in his stack: All players check simultaneously which animal or which zookeeper is confronting the animals shown on the card in the same order and therefore has made the photo. You do not look from a player’s perspective, but from those of the animals on the board or the zookeepers at the edges. When the snapshot shows horse in front and cat in the back only the cockerel can have made the photo, because the board shows cockerel, horse and cat arranged in this order in one row. If you think you know the solution you either name the animal or grab the respective zookeeper - if your solution is correct you set the snapshot aside and may turn up the top card of your stack for the next snapshot to resolve. If you are out of cards first you win the game. When you play the Criss Cross variant using all cards you must also look for diagonal arrangements.

Kuck Ruck Zuck is an enchanting game of spotting and observing, it trains recognition of sequences and correlating „small/big“ with „same size and order“!

Have fun by keeping your eyes peeled!
