PLAYED FOR YOU

DA IST DER WURM DRIN

WHICH WORM WILL SURFACE FIRST?

Worm burrowing party in neighbor’s garden! A very beautiful flower meadow is set up from two parts, resulting in four underground passages for four worms; two slits in the meadow allow you to check the progress of the worms. To start the game each player makes his individually patterned worm head disappear in the passage. Then in turn you roll the die and you push a worm body part of the color you did roll into your own worm’s passage, this pushes the head of the worm forward. If no body part of the color you rolled is left, you may choose any part. When the first worm head surfaces again at the end of the passage, you play on to the end of the round and then the winner is the player whose worm has advanced furthest.

In a version for older children you can bet using a daisy and a strawberry tile which worm will be visible first in the corresponding slit in the meadow.

To bet you place after a few rounds – but don’t wait too long! – first your daisy next to the first slit for the worm which you believe will appear first. The same you can do for the second slit. Due to the color coding of the body parts of different length you can guess nicely how long a worm might be. When the first worm appears it is too late to place your marker at this slit! If you guessed correctly you may feed the daisy or the strawberry to your worm, that is, push it into the passage and elongate your worm.

“Da ist der Wurm drin” is an enchanting game for small children, training an eye for measurements and also memory. The betting version makes the dice game interesting for older children, too.
