Monsterfalle

Monster clearance for Grandma Frieda

The monsters are loose in the house and all are having fun, but Oma Frieda comes to visit and she might be frightened, so to avoid frightening her you must catch the monsters. The cards show which monster is up for capturing. You must move it into the middle of the board with the help of the sliders and push it into the trap.

Three and four players play in teams, each player is part of two teams, once with his left neighbor and once with his right neighbor, one member of the team operates the horizontal sliders, the other one the vertical ones. The other players operate the timer. At the start of a team turn the sliders are at the sides of the board, a card is turned up and the piece “Monster in the Sack” is put on the chip of this monster. From now on the piece may only be moved with the help of the sliders and must not be touched by the players. Now you use the sliders to push the monster in the middle of the board as fast as you can. When the monster tumbles or falls out of the track, it goes back onto the chip and must start again. If you push the monster into the trap before time runs up you can turn up a card for the next monster to push. The card goes to your deposit board. When time runs out you put one of the team’s eye chips into the trap and the next team goes on sliding the monster. When all eye chips are in the trap, you win if you did catch most of the monsters with both of your teams. Monsterfalle is an attractive unusual game, which trains three-dimensional thinking and coordinated team work and at the same offers lots of fun when the monsters tumble!
