PLAYED FOR YOU

Harry Hopper

Hüpf! Platsch! Rums!

Vroom - the blade of grass has fallen - two teams of grass hoppers are harvesting grass blades, which are placed according to the chosen variant. Players form two teams, which need not be of the same size. One team plays with the dark blades and the dark grass hopper, represented by wooden oblongs, the other team uses the light green blades and the light green grass hopper. In the variant Abgegrast the red blade is set up in the middle of the table or on the floor, whatever you prefer, and then you form two circles around this blade, with a mixture of dark and light blades as stated in the rules. You position your grass hopper and let it jump by pressing down and then releasing its wings. If you overthrow your own or opposing blades they are taken out of play. Should you topple the red blade while some of the teams own blades are still standing, you set it up again. Whoever topples the red blade after own blades have fallen, wins. For the variant Grashüpfer-Parcours you create your own course, the blades must fall in sequence. When your own blades or both kinds topple, you take your own blade(s) and set up opposing ones again. Then you have another try, and so on. When only the opposing blade topples, you set it up again, If nothing topples, nothing happens. You may never reposition a grass hopper for a new jump, but you may turn it on the spot. The winner is the team that topples the red blade first.

An attractive version of Kubb, the surprisingly true-to-life grass hoppers are elegant, work well and you can do very well-aimed and controlled jumps with them after a few training jumps.
