Viva Montanya

Rubbish and Thaw

The mountain is littered with rubbish; 16 animals of four distinct species are hiding beneath the rubbish. All rubbish must be dumped correctly, and all animals must be found, before the snow thaws. For the playing area you place boards in a row - first the ski resort, side with one bin up, then four animal boards, four mountain boards, all snow side up, then a board Thaw and a board Valley.

Animals on the four animal boards - four different animals, all indigenous to the Pyrenees - are covered with rubbish tiles. Players take turn as active players.

As the active player, you roll the die - for a symbol of one of the four animals you look under the rubbish tile that you believe is hiding the animal on the die. If you found the animal, you dump the rubbish tile into the bin in the ski resort. For the trash bin symbol, you can dump any rubbish tile. For the sun symbol, the snow on one of the mountain boards melts, it is turned over to the green side. When all rubbish has been collected and dumped, before the snow has melted up to the resort, all players win jointly.

In a version, the rubbish is sorted into three different bins; when all rubbish was collected, before the snow has melted up to the resort, you check if all rubbish has been dumped in the respective bins by checking the symbol on the back of the rubbish tiles; if yes, players again win jointly.
