PLAYED FOR YOU

Yakari Wettlaufspiel

Go to the next feather!

Yakari is the hero from a French Comic TV series; he is a Sioux and can talk to animals. In this game he is racing his friends, Kleiner Donner, Kleiner Dachs and Regenbogen. The track features six different symbols; a different combination of four of those symbols mark the target area for each player. Each player has four pawns of one color, a starting area of this color and a starting spot on the track, featuring the same color and marked with the Yakari symbol. In your turn you roll the die and move a pawn forward to the next spot with the symbol showing on the die. If you roll the Yakari symbol you can either move forward to the next Yakari symbol or enter a pawn from the starting area; in both cases you can roll the die again for another move. If you reach an occupied space you throw the pawn already there off the track, it goes back to its own starting area. You must move one pawn and cannot pass, unless you have only a finish area spot left to fill and cannot move a pawn on the track as indicated by the die. If you are first to have all pawns in the finish area you win.

You can play this game with very young children without throwing pawns off the track; you simply jump over an occupied space and move forward to the next free spot with the symbol you rolled. You can also play the game with one or two pawns only per player so that players can get acquainted with the symbols and easily keep an eye on their pawns. Yakari offers a wonderful introduction for young children into first play using rules, the symbols are easy to distinguish and the well-known mechanisms is always fun to play.
