played for you

Hattu Möhrchen?!

Muttu aufessen!

Munching carrots is the motto, you need to get rid of carrots on cards and at the same time hold on to your carrot chips and lose as few as possible. You begin with six cards and in your turn play a suitable card, that is, a card corresponding to the top card on the stack in color or number; when a special card is played, color or symbol must correspond. The special card “Muttu Möhrchen abgeben!“ can be played on any card. When a special card is played, its action is triggered: For „Muttu aufessen! The active player chooses another player who must give the active player one of his carrot chips; but when the chosen player can play the same card, he transfers the loss of a chip to another player, who must now give him two of his carrot chips, and so on. For „Muttu aufstehen!“ all players but the active one stand up or remain standing.  „Muttu Möhrchen abgeben“ can be played anytime, but only when at least one player at the table is standing, and each standing player gives one carrot chip to the active player. If you can’t play a card, you draw a card and stand up. If you stand, you remain standing if you can play again; if you are out of chips, you must quit the game. If you are out of cards, the round ends, all others discard a carrot chip for each card in hand; if they have not enough chips they are out of the game. All remaining players begin a new round; the last player still having chips wins the game. In a short game over three rounds you win with most chips.

UNO with carrots, so to say, but all in all a very nice variant of the shed-a-suitable-card-or-draw-a-card mechanism, the carrot chips are a cute additional detail.
