Fuchs du hast das Huhn gestohlen

open the fox den, unmask the thief

The fox has escaped with the stolen chicken, and is hiding among his friends in the fox den and must be lured out and identified. The fox den is equipped with one fox per opening; then each opening is covered with a door. Cockerel Hannes begins on the starting spot of his track. Eight clue cards are laid out.

The active player tries to open a door in the fox den with the help of the key on a chain - you lift out the door by sinking the key into the door slit and pulling the door up- while another player rolls the die and moves Cockerel Hannes one step forward on his track for each cockerel result. When Hannes reaches the moon case, your turn ends. If you manage the door before this, you take the fox behind the door and also the door. When the backside of the door shows an animal friend, you display him. If the door shows a handicap for the handling of the key, you must implement it in your next turn - use your “wrong” hand to guide the key chain, stand on one leg while using the key, guide the key by the ring on the chain or close one eye with one hand.

When all four animal friends are on display, the game ends and the animal friends give one clue each. If you own an animal friend, you draw a face-down clue card of the friend’s color. Then the clue cards are revealed one by one and players set aside foxes according to the revealed clues. If you still hold a fox after all four clues were resolved, you have caught the thief - he shows all four characteristics - and you win. If all players are out of foxes, the thief has escaped!

Cute, and exactly the right mix of dexterity and luck, thrilling to the very end!
