Evas Welt

outside-the-box Thinking!

In Evas World there are buildings, a car, a tractor & trailer, a swimming pool, trees, a pasture and much, much more. All those things are pictured on 48 discovery cards, items are presented as seen from all possible directions. On the game board with 12 inner squares all those things are pictured when being looked on from above, as you would do from an airplane.

At the start of the game the players randomly place their markers anywhere on the board. Then in turn you roll the die and move your marker accordingly in any direction over the 12 inner squares, but not diagonally. Then you look at the four squares adjacent to the square with your marker and try to image how the item pictured on this square would look if you would see it standing on the ground. Then you search the display of discovery cards for the corresponding picture for each of the four squares and take the pictures. Your neighbor to your left controls the picture by turning it over.  If there are not enough pictures left take those still available. When all cards have been given out, the player with most cards wins.

Evas World offers a very unusual mechanism for a children or easy family game, the rethinking of a top view into a side view is not easy for some adults, either. For children it is a wonderful training for spatial thinking and spatial imagination. The game also trains the ability to go from abstract to concrete, for instance to identify a blue-and-white pattern with a red circle in one corner and a yellow rectangle at one side as a swimming pool before thinking how this might look when standing before it.
