Learning by playing

The double-sided game board offers one side with six and one side with 8 areas, the back sides of the animal cards show the solutions for all areas of the board.

You place an animal image behind the closed flaps of the game and your marker on “Start”. In your turn you open one flap and all players can, but need not, place a chip on a spot. There can be 2 chips on a spot, but a chip placed later earns you fewer steps. You go on opening flaps until all players have placed their chip or until all flaps are open. Then the picture is scored und you move your marker for a correctly placed chip: 2 steps if your chip either is the only one on the spot or the lower one in the stack. If your chip is the top one in a stack your marker moves one step forward. If you are the first to get back to start or go over start again then you win the game.

This  basic version can be varied in different ways to be a little bit more challenging: You can turn the pictures before placing them behind the flaps for a different view of the animal – you can play with the 6-part-side of the board which makes correct placing of chips more difficult or you can slide in the pattern screen in front of the image, so that only a few parts of the picture are visible, even when all flaps are opened.

The parts of the board are very well explained by pictograms and well explained in the rules, and the tasks fit the age-group very well, for instance is it the animal a mammal or does it lay eggs? The game is an excellent re-use of the mechism first used in Klappe Auf, not only a very good educational game, but a lovely game for the whole family.
