Mein erstes Krabbelkäfer-Spiel

LADY BIRDS ON A BEECH TREE Leaf

A beautiful garden needs its insects, bugs and beetles, but unfortunately a lot of the insects have escaped and are hiding among the leaves, so you must retrieve them and try to be the first who manages to bring back seven insects to his garden.

Six different leaves - Chestnut, Maple, Lime, Beech, Ivy and Oak - are laid out on the table and you put four randomly chosen bugs on each leaf - Lady Bird, Ant, Bee, Butterfly, Spider and Caterpillar.

You roll both dice: The bugs die tells you the kind of insect you must collect, and the leaves die shows you the kind of leaf from which you must take the creepy crawly insect. When there is a chip showing the currently wanted insect on the correct leaf, you take insect and put it into your garden. Should there be more than one chip on the leaf you take them all. Then you take the same number of insects from stock to refill the leaf. When there is no suitable bug on the designated leaf, you pass your turn to your next neighbor.

If you are first to have collected seven creepy crawly bugs for your garden in this way, you win the game. It is completely irrelevant which kind of insects or how many insects of one kind you have collected, there must be seven of them.

Enchanting and very beautiful, those are the first words that enter my mind to describe this game, it is very lovingly made and illustrated; each garden is different, as are the leaves. The mechanism - dice rolling only - fits the target age and along the way players learn the shapes of six different tree leaves and also notice that insects are quite beautiful when you take a closer look at them.
