Der Mondbär

Sleep well, little Moonbeam Bear!

Little Moonbeam Bear has difficulties to fall asleep, because his friend, the moon is all alone in the sky. But the friends of Moonbeam Bear have a good idea – they want to light up the stars in the sky to keep the moon company and Moonbeam Bear can go to sleep. All children, before they go to sleep themselves, assist Moonbeam Bear and his friends in lighting up the stars. The stars are dealt evenly to the players. The animals are placed in the middle of the table and all players in turn choose an animal, until all animals are standing in front of player. It can happen that one player has more animals than another. Then all in turn roll the die: If the die shows one of the animals, you can take the animal from the middle or from one of the players and place it in front of yourself. If the animal you have rolled is already standing in front of yourself, it remains there. If you roll the star you may light up one star for each animal that stands in front of you by placing one of your stars into the box. If you are the first to have light up all your stars in the night sky, you win the game.

This is a very beautiful and very simple game mechanism, the playing pieces are handy for little hands, the die is big and the symbols are easily recognized. The design of the box with its midnight blue color and the little golden stars is a wonderful introduction to the theme and makes you think of lovely summer nights. The middle of the rule book shows a funny cheerful picture of Moonbeam Bear and his friends, if you are not tired enough to sleep you can make up a good night story about them.
