PLAYED FOR YOU

Meine ersten Spiele

Tier auf Tier

The concept of Animal upon Animal / Tier auf Tier  has been a topic of Haba games since 20005, and in this game it is used for the first time in a game for toddlers, in the series of My first games – Meine ersten Spiele.

The game features well-known animals: Cow, pig, chicken, sheep, dog and hare. In each version you stack animals, either on one or two stack. If no animal tumbles off, you receive a sun. You win a game if you have collected most suns at the end.

Schaf auf Huhn: You play with clover meadow, suns and animals. In your move you turn over a sun and place the pictured animal on the meadow or – if an animal is already there – stacks it on this animal. Kuh auf Schaf: You use two meadows and both bushes; animals and suns are distributed around the meadows. You roll the die; for clover or flower you place or stack an animal on clover meadow or flower meadow. If you roll a sun you can choose the meadow. Um die Wette mit dem Hasen is a bit more challenging; all animals need to be stacked before the hare reaches the end of the path between the meadows. One meadow and one bush each are laid out to form start and finish for the race, the suns are laid to form a path between them. You roll the die; for clover and flower rolled you place or stack an animal on the corresponding meadow, for the sun the rabbit takes one step towards the finish.

This is a nice and simple game, pretty and also easy to play on your won; it is also a beautiful training for motor skills and hand-eye-coordination; the animals are big, easy to stack and can also be used for free play or your own versions.
