Schreck und weg!

frightened mouse and scared away!

Animals in the game are easily frightened and can be scared away by other animals. Depending on the number of players you get a target card for color and type of animal or only color or type. 32 animal cards are laid out in an 8x4 grid. The Scare rules: Elephant->Dog->Cat->Mouse->Elephant. You select an animal and scare one of the orthogonally adjacent ones; it is frightened and runs away, which means it is removed from the grid; the scaring animal can be moved into the gap. The gap is then closed by shifting down all cards on top of it. If a column is empty or no animal can be frightened anymore, you win with most points from animals remaining in the grid that fit your target card(s).

In a team variant you play in teams of two players; one of them has the color target card, the other one the type card, information cannot be exchanged, however. In the variant for up to eight players, you either get a color or a type target card and the game ends, when two columns are empty. The Junior variant for up to eight players is played in the same way, but ends when one column is empty. In Solo variant I you want - without target cards - scare all animals but one off the table; to make it more difficult, you can draw a color and type card and try to match the last animal to it. In Solo variant II you want to scare away as many animals as you can while scoring the fewest possible points; you score for animals remaining in the grid and those corresponding to your color and type target card.

Nice and simple, the sophistication comes from trying to give the fewest possible openings for frightening to other players when shifting cards.
