Cobra Paw

Meister Miau’s Technique

Battle for Clawfuku pieces, using the technique Meister Miau developed and perfected in his battle against Phii Lion. 21 tiles of two halves show two out of six possible symbols, either two identical ones or two different ones. Both dice show all symbols.

You roll the dice and try to be fastest to claim the corresponding tile either from the middle or from another player. Claims must be made adhering to a behavior codex: You claim a tile by putting one or several fingers of one hand only on it - you are allowed to roll with one hand and claim with the other hand; when claiming an incorrect tile, you must pass in the next round; if several players claim a tile, the tile goes to the player whose finger is nearest to the middle of the tile; you must not impede the line of sight to the tiles for other players with your hand. Whoever claims the correct piece, sets it down open-faced and will do the next roll of the dice. Whoever is first to have claimed six tiles - or eight in a game of two players - wins.

In the version Geister der Gefallenen you set aside between one and five tiles face-down. If one of the set-aside combinations is rolled, you earn a tile if you are first to call „Ninja“ correctly. In the Pfoten weg! version, you must discard a tile if you claimed an incorrect tile. In the Ninja-Duell version, you must collect eleven tiles - or more, if you agree to a higher number - and play using the rules of Pfoten weg!

Again, a very well-made and well-working version of a familiar mechanism, with a cute background story; the components are classy, the design is pretty and the Geister der Gefallenen version as a challenge for your memory.
