Cloud knows

spot Shapes in clouds

Who does not remember the images that can be found in clouds? Those images are the theme of this game. In three rounds one player plays Cloud, the others Winds and you use four to twelve theme cards per round, depending on the level of difficulty. Could secretly choses a theme card and one term on it. Then all theme cards are shuffled and placed next to the number cards, one card per number. Cloud then marks background pattern and number of his chosen term on the Sun Wheel.

Winds draw cloud cards and lay them out. Cloud chooses three cards and tries to form part of the basic shape of the answer. Then Winds in turn can either give a cloud card to Cloud or give a guess at the term. When Cloud accepts a card offered by a Wind, she adds it to the shape according to placement rules and this Wind gets a Rainbow marker from Cloud; otherwise the card is discarded and Wind receives a Dark Cloud marker. If you guess you put any marker on your selected term. After each Cloud reaction Cloud can remove a rainbow marker and relocate, replace or flip a cloud card. When the term is guessed correctly – confirmed by the Sun Wheel – the round ends; Cloud and correctly guessing Wind score the points stated next to the term, all other Winds score a point per Rainbow marker they hold. When Cloud is out of Rainbow and Dark Cloud markers, nobody scores for the round.

Cloud formation are hard to interpret as are the shapes that Cloud must lay out in the course of the game, the cloud segments on the cards cannot always be combined into suitable representations of terms. An interesting and challenging game concept for creative minds!
