PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Monsterwäsche

Spotty monsters on the line to your right!

 

Monsters want to be rid of their rank aroma and hold a washing day - and of course they cause chaos of monstrous dimensions. Players must function as living laundry rack for the monsters. The elastic clothes line is knotted for a circle and held by all players at waist height, without using hands! Monsters are laid out within this circle, and also a golden clothes peg for each round.

Each player has eight pegs of one color. All play at the same time and try to pick up a total of eight monsters from the middle of the circle and to hang them on the line to their left and right. You play several washing turns - in the first turn you try to find all monsters in the color of your own peg and in the second turn you look for monsters in all colors but your own, and no color may be doubled. Those two spotting criteria alternate in all additional washing turns. In each turn you must hang star-patterned monsters to your left and spot-patterned monsters to your right.

If you are believe you to be first to have all monsters correctly hung, you stop the round and your monsters are checked. If you are correct you receive the golden peg. If you made a mistake you must discard a golden peg and the golden peg from the middle goes to the player who has most correct monsters on the line. In versions you can play sitting on a circle of chairs or hold the line at other parts of your body. A simpler way to play is to search only for monsters of your own color.

A cute version of an agility and movement game; movements must be judged carefully to keep the line in place; it is not as easy as it sounds, but great fun for children.
