Go Gecko go!

Race to the tree trunk!

Your crew of four animals - crocodile, turtle, frog and gecko - aims to reach the tree trunk first. The board with four rivers, equipped water tiles and two bridges across the rivers, is laid out. Each player selects a river and lines up his crew in front of it. As active player, you check first, if at least one of your animals sits in front of a bridge. If not, you roll all dice - for sunshine on the weather dice all players move all their animals on a shadow case forward one step to a sun case; when target cases are occupied, you put your animal on top. For lighting, you can move one of your animals up to another one of yours, or use the color dice; for the rainbow you use the color dice together with the rainbow for a color joker. When you have resolved the weather dice, you select one color from your roll and move this animal forward one step per die in its color. You cannot move an animal with a bigger one on its back by dice roll! When an animal is in front of a bridge, you may roll and resolve the roll, or slide. For sliding, you take a water tile and slide it into your river at the starting end - all animals move one step and the animal in front of the bridge is moving through underneath. Animals carried on its back might fall of, they are restacked in front of the bridge. Animals can only pass under a bridge by sliding, dice movements end in front of a bridge.

Opulent components, clear rule and a challenging movement mechanism, especially the bridge obstacle, introducing tactic into this well-working game which has definitely earned its nomination for Kinderspiel des Jahres.
