Flocki, such´ das Socki!

Red stripes, Bold or narrow?

Flocki and his doggy friends play at retrieving socks, so the single socks lying about are somewhat useful again. Each player chooses a dog in the shape of one of the colored discs. The 6 sock tiles are displayed openly for a few moments and then turned over. The active player rolls the die and thus determines the sock that the dogs should retrieve in this round. All players now simultaneously “look” for this sock and place their dog disc - as fast as they can - onto the sock tile they think is the correct one. More than one dog disc can be placed on a sock tile; the second and any other disc on a sock tile are stacked on top of the first one. When each player has placed his dog disc the sock tiles are revealed. If you placed your dog on the correct sock you score points in the guise of chips: You earn 3 points if you were the fastest and 2 points if you were second on the correct tile. All other players on this tile score 1 point. If you selected a wrong sock, you lose points: The first dog on a wrong sock discards 1 point, the second on the same wrong sock 2 points, and any more dogs on the same sock lose 3 points each. If you have not enough points to discard, to hand in what points you have. Then you switch  two sock tiles. When all chips have been given out, you win with most points from your chips.

Flocki such das Socki is just cute! Dogs and socks have been painstakingly and lovingly drawn, the rules are very simple and the fun is huge. Children who can count up to five can easily play this nice combination of memory and reaction without adult supervision.
