PLAYED FOR YOU

Isabella

Green frog on red

Little absent-minded witch Isabella needs help to remember the ingredients she has already put into her potion cauldron. There are six different ingredients and each of those ingredients is depicted six times on backgrounds of different colors. Those 36 ingredients are turned face-down, shuffled and then you randomly select ten ingredient tiles and set them aside without looking at them the rest of the ingredients remains as face-down stock.

The active player picks up one face-down ingredient tile, shows the ingredient on it to all players and then puts down the tile face-down into the cauldron. Then he rolls both dice - if you know believe that the exact combination of ingredient and color, as just rolled, is already present in the cauldron, you call "Inside" and begin to turn over ingredients in the cauldron. You continue until the correct ingredient appears or until all ingredients are visible. When the correct combination is turned up, you are rewarded with a wizard hat chip; if you were wrong, you must discard a wizard hat chip, if you have at least one of them.

In both cases all turned-up ingredient tiles ore turned over again. If nobody calls "inside" nothing happens. If somebody called "inside" or not, the turn now ends and the dice pass to the next player. When no ingredients are left in stock, you win with most hats.

A very simple game, a very pretty game, a well-made game for children - the memo mechanism comes across a bit like "I put into my suitcase" - in each turn an ingredient is added, but you keep seeing them again and again! And yet, do not forget, ten combinations ingredient+color are not in play!
