Pips & Betsy

Roll red, reach the larder!

The cheeky baby mice Pips and Bets have a bet going with two other baby mice – who will reach the larder first? To win they must be quick in recognizing the color that will advance them furthest. Each player chooses a mouse and places it next to Mama Mouse wielding her broom. In your turn you roll all three dice. Then you choose the color that is farthest away from the position of your mouse and place the mouse there. The spot must be empty. Should all spots in the colors you rolled be taken already, you must pass your turn. If you sit on one of the last six spots and roll a color that is not present before the finish you jump directly to the larder and win the game.

In a variant you use only one die to play, the mice are not assigned to players and each player draws a face down tile showing one of the mice. You do not look at this tile! In your turn you roll the die and move the mouse of this color to the next spot of this color. If you roll orange you can move a mouse of your choice and for white you put the mouse in front back on the nearest white spot. When the first mouse has reached the pantry all turn up their mouse tiles – if you own the mouse tile of this color you have won.

Pips & Betsy is again a typical Beleduc game: A wooden board and beautiful wooden material, which is nice to the touch and easily handled by small hands. This is accompanied by a simple background story, fitting well into the framework of other stories and tales for children, and simple rules which – corresponding to the targeted age – trains color recognition and adhering to first simple rules.
