Stinky
green and stinking!
A stinking green monster has appeared! What can we do? Well we can fight the monster and its underlings by washing them, throwing a die. Stinky and his reek cards are laid out in a vertical row, his five underlings, too, but separately. 25 items are dealt evenly to players, the remaining one in case of 2, 3 or 4 players begins the open display of items in the 5x5 grid.
The active player decides to either A) announcing an item or B) to try to wash Stinky.
If the active player selects A), he names a type of item and a number according to given rules; each active flower reduces reek by one, for each garbage Stinky grows by an additional body card, insecticides chase away underlings and lid or soap come into play when washing Stinky. If you hold the named item, you put it into the grid; if you hold it yourself, you have another turn.
If you select B), you throw the die at Stinky in lieu of soap - if it ends up on Stinky and shows a six, you wash, but unfortunately all underlings must be washed first. If you cannot achieve six with soap in the display, the turn ends; if you then can use a lid, you have avoided punishment by Stinky’s tongue and have another try to wash. Successful washes give you a Cleaning Point, and the game is restarted. Whoever collects the necessary number of cleaning points - in relation to player numbers - wins.
A cute topic and an interesting mix of mechanisms. You rival for cleaning points, but try to achieve a display that gives you lots of lids and soap, which helps your opponents in their tries to wash Stinky. Felicitous family fun with throws at a target!
