PLAYED FOR YOU

Die Lieben Sieben

Auf dem Jahrmarkt

All Friendly Seven are on the Fairground and want to try out all rides and attractions. The Fairground is represented by a game board showing 6 spaces of different colors; each space shows the symbol of one attraction, from a chairoplane to cotton candy. The cards either show an attractions or the symbol for tin tossing. In your turn you look at the top card and then try to snip the marble puck into the square showing the same symbol as the card. When the “throw” is valid because the puck only touches the attraction space or the attraction space and the meadow you receive the cards. If you manage to win two cards of a kind you exchange them for a complimentary ticket. When the card for tin tossing is turned up, you stack the three tins, represented by three wooden cylinders, at the end of the board at the tin tossing stall; then you must manage to tumble all of them off the board with one throw. If you manage this you get a complimentary ticket immediately. If you fail, the next player in turn must try to succeed, until one player manages to tumble the tins correctly. When all cards have been played, you can swap three cards for a complimentary ticket and then the player holding most complimentary tickets wins. In a version for younger players you play without complimentary tickets, if you hit an attraction you receive the card and you win with most cards when all cards have been allocated.

A dexterity game pure and simple, beautifully done and training motor skills and hand-eye-coordination; the Fairground topic fits really nicely, carousel and balloons are familiar to all children.
