PLAYED FOR YOU

Lappen schnappen

Feed the Rag Monster!

The Rag Monster eats fabric patches, sometimes too many of them and he gets tummy ache – so you must feed it correctly, because it only eats certain kinds of patches. A collection of games makes players feel fabrics and recognize and assign them by touching. There are two sets of six pairs of patch cards, in two colors – always with a different structure for each pair – and a bag for each color. You use those components for three different games:

In the cooperative game Flinke Lappenschnapperei all players together try to find and identify all cards by touching and feeling. The top fabric card from the stack is turned up and the active player searches in the bag of the corresponding color for the corresponding card, using one hand only. When the pulled-out card is correct, you get the card from stack as a reward, if not, you feed it to the Rag Monster. In both cases the card pulled from the bag goes back into the bag. In Duell der Lappenschnapper two players play against each other; each draws the top card from one of the stacks and - on command - searches the corresponding bag for the second card. Whoever finds the correct card faster may feed the Rag Monster with a sweet. The first player to feed three sweets to the monster, wins. In the memo game Lappensucherei you put one card of each pair in the corresponding bag, the other one into a 3x4 grid. Then you turn up one card and search for the other one in the bag. If you find a pair you keep one card and feed the other to the Rag Monster.

Pretty, good, and educational - as usual in a Haba game - the cloths are nicely chosen and - as is the purpose - easily identified with a bit of practice.
