Strawberry Ninja
Kitty sucht Ichigo
Kitty the Cat and Strawberry Ninja, also called Ichigo, play hide & seek, and Kitty wants to find Strawberry Ninja in the strawberry fields before time runs out.
Cards for strawberry fields and one card for Strawberry Ninja are shuffled together and laid out facedown in a 3x4 grid; one case of your choice is kept clear. Kitty begins on any of the cards. Movement cards are stacked, and the round marker begins on Position 1 of the round marker card.
You slide a card of your choice -adjacent to the gap into the gap - players can confer about which one to move; if Kitty sits on the card, she is taken along; if Kitty already sits in the gap, you put her on the card. Then you slide a second card in the same way; this card is then revealed and, if it carries text, the text is resolved - card texts concern movements of cards or Kitty. Then you move Kitty according to the top movement card. If you believe that you know the position of Strawberry Ninja, you can - or of the round marker is at position 12, you must - let Kitty pounce at Ninja, that is, reveal the card beneath Kitty. If it shows Strawberry Ninja, he is found, otherwise he has escaped for the round. All win if Strawberry Ninja is caught twice. But all lose the game, if he escapes twice. In variants you select 10 cards for the strawberry field or you play only 10 rounds or combine both options.
Simpler and quicker is near to impossible! You slide cards, reveal, slide cards or move Kitty and, in a few minutes, you have found Ninja or not! Grrrh, where did I make a mistake? Fun for one and fun for all, even for more than four, because you cooperate!
