Muckinos

Across the goblin Forest

Muckinos are little goblins roaming the enchanted forest. They love to sleep long and often and so they get upset when you disturb them, so tread softly.

36 forest tiles show various animals and plants on their front side - deer, bird, squirrel, frog or mushroom - and forest on the back side. The forest tiles are laid out, forest side up, in a 6x6 grid. Each player chooses a marker and the starting tile of the same color; the starting tile is put in front of one side of the grid and you put your marker on it.

As the active player, you turn over one of the six forest tile in the row in front of your mover and then you turn over a second tile anywhere in the grid. When the images on the two turned-up tiles are different, you do not move and turn both tiles back over again. But if the images on both revealed tiles are identical, you put your marker on the first tile you turned up - you have moved one step further into the forest! The second tile is turned back over again und you have another turn. When you find a Muckinos tile - there are three of them - you must move your marker backwards one row and turn over all open-faced tiles again. Open tiles with a marker on them remain open. Only one marker is allowed on a tile at any time.

Whoever is first to move his marker on any of the six forest tiles in the last row of the grid, opposite to his starting tile, wins the game.

Simple and simply nice! The mechanism is easy - children can play alone after an explanation - and the topic is nice; drawings are cute, especially the grinning mushrooms, and all is packed into a very handy, small box. What more can you want?
