Der kleine Drache Kokosnuss

Ausflug ins Abenteuer

 

Drache Kokosnuss und his friends - Porcupine Matilde, Gobbling Dragon Oscar and Fire Dragon girl Lulu - are looking for the mythical Duck Flower and the game will be won by whoever reaches the Duck Flower Meadow first. Players are asked to assist in the search, because along the adventure path you will encounter Forest Sprites, a Hanging Bridge, a Troll and the Gobbling Plant.

You choose a character marker and a starting place on the board and you stay on this chosen path for the whole duration of the game. You roll the die: For green feet symbols you move forward accordingly. For a red foot symbol you move one spot backwards and for the spinner symbol you place the dice on one of six spots provided at the border of the board. Those spots show one, two or three Red Feet for moving backwards or one, two or three Green Feet for moving forward. Then you turn the spinner: The character indicated by the spinner must now move forward or backwards accordingly. When this spinner-induced movement ends on a path spot showing feet the character moves instantly another time, the way the spot indicates, forward or backwards, the stated number of steps. Whoever reaches the finish at the Duck Flower Meadow first, wins the game.

Nice, cute, simple - an ideal game for a gift, for taking it along on travels. The simple rules are quickly explained, illustrations are cute and with the mechanic of placing the dice on forward or backwards movement spots even a teeny weeny bit of tactic is coming into play. Der Kleine Drache Kokosnuss as a topic adds an additional interest to the game for children.
