Schnuffi, wuff!

Jump, run, bark, howl!

Dogs are on the move all day long, and the players want to play along and imitate them. Using this simple idea and a very simple game mechanism, children can be active and agile: In your turn you turn up a card, imitate the action shown on the card and keep the card.

The actions are quite self-explaining and easily understood from the pretty drawings: There are run, howl, sniff, turn, stroke and lift a leg. Run asks you to run once around the table. To howl you must get up, stand behind your chair, hold your head up and howl. To sniff you must get down on all four next to the table and briefly touch your nose to the floor.

For a turn you get up from your chair and turn once around yourself. Stroking involves both your neighbors, you first use your left hand to touch the arm of your left neighbor; then you use your right hand to touch the arm of your right neighbor. To lift a leg, you again go down on all four next to the table and then briefly lift one leg. When all cards are given out, you win if you could collect most different colours. In the “Racing version” players in turn roll the die – if you roll a barking dog, you turn up cards and imitate the actions as in the basic version until another player rolls the barking dog. You win if you collect the most cards.

Like all other games in the Edition Siebenschläfer Schnuffi, wuff! uses very simple principles for game mechanisms that are quickly explained and quickly played, and enables lots of movement using very little space. The pretty drawings and letting children play alone after explaining the game are further bonuses.
