Zwergentrio

 

In its large and varied range of games for toddlers, Haba here offers a collection of dice games featuring funny dwarves; the three games use similar mechanisms but still provide three different ways to play: 

Zurück ins Zwergenland! - Back into Pixies Land! is a collecting game, each player has a board, frameless side up, You throw the dwarf dice stick and take a corresponding part, pants, head or hat, when this spot is still empty on your board, and place it. For the stars you take any missing part. If you have filled your board first, you win. 

Gemeinsam nach Hause! - Let’s go home together! is a cooperative game, the boards are placed frame up. You throw the cloud stick. For a cloud you place a corresponding part, for the stars any missing part. When all dwarves are complete, all players have won together. Should you want a winner, give a board to the child that placed the last part to complete the dwarf, the child with most boards is declared the winner! 

Auf zu Zwergenkönig Zwilli! - Let’s visit King Dopey! is a stacking game. First, you take a board and place all parts for a complete dwarf. Then you throw the dwarf stick. If it shows pants, head or hat you take the necessary part and place it on the table to achieve a correct dwarf, first pants, then head and hat. For the stars you take the next missing part, if you finish your dwarf first, you win.

Simply beautiful! The game features big wooden parts which can be easily stacked to form standing dwarves and invite players to use them for playing without rules and to invent stories; they also provide an excellent introduction to first to game rules.
