Sabrina Stachelschwein

Danger for balloons

The little porcupine endangers balloons! The game features 28 balloon cards; in case of 2, 3, 4 or 5 players you deal 8, 7, 6 or 5 cards to each player. Left-over cards are spread face-down in the middle. Then you select a pawn and all players lay out their cards to form a circle, with gaps between players’ card groups, in which you place the player pawns, so that the pawns indicate the card rows of each player. Those pawns are only indicators, they are never moved! The player who has most balloons on a card with a Sabrina symbol, puts this card face-down into the middle and puts Sabrina into the gap, she must clearly face one direction.

From now on, if you have Sabrina in your row of cards, you roll the die. If you achieved a number result, you move Sabrina as many cards in the direction she faces; the card that she reaches is put face-down in the middle and Sabrina is placed in the gap. If you rolled an arrow, you turn Sabrina around to face the other direction and roll again; if you rolled the card symbol, you take a face-down card from the middle, put it openly into your row and roll again. If someone must put his last row card in the middle, you win, if you have most balloons on your remaining cards.

When younger children are playing, you can simply count remaining cards in the row instead of balloons.

So simple and so well-working! Very easy rules and a very nice use of the memo mechanism - which face-down card in the middle has most balloons? I have found an eight! Let’s hope that Sabrina does not end up on this card!
