Tier auf Tier Stapel-Memo

elefant at the bottom, glow-worm on top

During their trip to the coast, animals want to be as high as the lighthouse and climb on top of each other, always a smaller animal on a bigger one. The crocodile is miffed because it is not allowed to sit at the top and pushes animals out of the stack.

Each player has a template for the correct stack - from glow-worm on top to mouse and turtle, to monkey, penguin and dog down to lion on bear and elephant. The starting player draws three animals from the bag and shows them to all players for memorizing. Then animals are stacked on the board, image side down, according to the template, for instance dog on elephant and mouse on hedgehog. Then, in turn, all players draw one animal, show it to all and put it into the stack in correct sequence. If you draw a crocodile, you roll the die and count from the bottom animal up to the value of the die and remove this animal from the stack. Whether you add an animal to the stack or remove an animal because of the crocodile, you must always take good care not to topple the stack, because if that happens, you have lost and all others win together. If you should believe anytime during the game, that an animal was not placed correctly, you stop the stacking, take down the stack and compare each animal for position in the template. If you are correct and an animal is not in a correct position, you win instantly. When the stack is complete and nobody did doubt, all players win together.

Memory and dexterity - an attractive combination of two standard mechanisms, with doubting as a thrilling and risky detail! The dog goes beneath the monkey, or does he?
