Fische versenken!

Out of the bowl and down the drain!

 

The little fish want out of the gold fish bowl, doesn’t matter where to, be it the open window, the sink or the toilet bowl! 60 double-sided card have one hole; on the blue backside of the card therefore one out of five fish is missing, as the sixth spot is always taken by a little yellow rubber duck. On the front side of a card, the hole is always in one of the three escape options - open window, toilet bowl or sink - and the card shows images of one of the five fish, a fish held by a crab, or a shark; star fish and duck are always only decorations. You are dealt five cards, the rest is stacked blue backside up, one card of the stack is turned over to begin the discard pile. To help a fish to escape, you must place two cards from your hand on top of each other, congruent, the bottom card must show the blue back side, the top card must show the front side; You can rotate cards any way you want, but the must always be completely aligned with each other. The top card on the discard pile tells you what must be visible in the hole of the front card:

When a fish is jumping out of the bowl, this fish must be visible in the hole; when the crab holds a fish, you need to form the previous combination again; when the shark appears, you must place two holes over each other. If you are fasted to form the necessary combination, you set the cards aside and draw two from the stack; when the stack is used up, you win with most cards.

A cute idea and a nice story for an exercise in observation and quick reaction, and for spatial thinking, too, when rotating the cards; beautifully drawn and coming in a classy sliding box.
