PLAYED FOR YOU

Spielhaus

Exploring all rooms

Since 1973 you can go exploring in the rooms of this house, now this real classic game has been re-published as part of the range of "Meine ersten Spiele". The game features 16 room cards, showing scenes from daily life in a house, the playhouse in the nursery, the family playing a card game in the living room, a birthday party in the living room, routing in the chests in the attic, cleaning your teeth or having a bath, and even making cookies in the kitchen with Grandma. The room cards are laid out randomly and all players put their marker at the start. You roll the die and move your marker. Only one marker is allowed on a spot; you count occupied stops in passing and when your target spot is occupied, you move on to the next free spot. Star spots are normal spots, they indicate hidden items nearby, but have no effect whatsoever on movement of markers. When you roll a star, you take the top item card from the stack and search for this item in the house. When you find it, you put your marker next to it, that is, a star can let you advance or drop back on the path. You keep the item card. Should you roll a star when all the item cards have been taken, you simply roll again and move your marker. Whoever arrives in the attics first, wins the game.

Just because it is so simple and easy this game has become a classic, you can tell so many stories while moving around in the house, and also invent your own rules, for instance, if you roll the star and find the item you must tell why it might be in the room and if you could make use of it elsewhere and if yes, where, and so on and so on.
