PLAYED FOR YOU

Saus, kleine Maus

Elefun & friends

Elefun has acquired some new friends - mice Nacho, Krümel and Keks - those three run about on the cheese board, where you can also a giraffe, bananas, boots and a bathtub as well as Elefun, Kroko, Hippo and Popo the Monkey.

The game board is set up, adult assistance is necessary for assembly: To join the board together, put the friends in their positions, set up bath tub and ladder, fix Pop the Monkey, the cage, bananas and leaves to the palm tree and finally place Giraffe, boots and marbles. Aim of the game is of course to avoid your own mouse being trapped and to catch an opponent's mouse in the trap. But take care! The trap is easily sprung!

You choose one of the three mice and place it on the starting spot next to the red arrow. In your turn you spin the cheese wheel and move to the next free spot of this color. When your mouse reaches a spot showing boots and there is another mouse in the Smelly Cheese Zone you spring the trap by pressing the red arrow - if you catch a mouse the game ends and you have won. If not, the trap is re-assembled - Hippo is placed on his swing, Popo back on the tree top, the marble next to Giraffi goes into the basket, Giraffi is set upright and Hippo gets back his marble - and the game continues.

This mechanism was already successfully used in "Maus reiß aus!" - The chain reaction of the components is cute and exciting and introducing the Elefun friends offers a high recognition effect and familiar characters. This is simple fun, rich in action and the efforts to re-assemble the trap without help trains legerdemain and provides first insights to mechanical patterns.
