Nelly

Happy Hippo climbing

Little turtle sit on the water plants and want to climb onto the hippo, assisted by the players. The die shows a crane, a water plant and 4 times turtles in different colours. 20 discs show water plants on one side and 14 of a crab on the other side, while 6 show a rotting water plant. These water plant discs are shuffled and dealt to the players with the turtles, turtle colors are not player colors, all play with turtles in all colors. In your turn you roll the die: For the turtle symbols you must feed Nelly (in all rounds but the first) and then place a turtle. To feed Nelly you pick one of your empty plants and turn if over: If it shows the crab you turn the head of the hippo. If turtles slid off the head you place them on plants of your own. Then you and all players place one of their turtles on Nelly. You can stack turtles, but never put them on their back. A rotting plant makes Nelly pass wind: All players but you must use their less-active hand for placing their turtles and hold their nose with the other hand. When the crane is rolled, the crane must be relocated to another spot on Nellys back und for the water plant you put back one of your empty plants into the box without any further action. Whenever turtles slide off Nelly you place them on your own free plants. If you have not enough free room the surplus turtle go out of the game. At the end of your turn you turn Nelly to face the next player. If you are out of turtles, you win the game.

A nice and fun use for balance and dexterity, the turtles themselves are very pretty and naughty Nelly passing wind always makes the children giggle.
