Grain collecting with Schnabelgrün
Sparrows want to pick grain from the straw bales, magic raven Schnabelgrün is helping them. The bales are placed on the flower beds, Schnabelgrün starts the the game on the "green" bale; grain and dice are readied. You roll two dice and may hide grain chips, according to the result of the number die, in any bales of your choice. Then Schnabelgrün flies to the bale of the color rolled with the color die and you take the chips hidden there. If you are first to collect six grains you win. A bit of tactic is possible, as there are two blue bales and free choice of color should Schnabelgrün already sit at the color you rolled. Of course you should always remember well which grain chips were hidden where to get a good result when you move Schnabelgrün.
In the version "Otto, the Scarecrow" Otto starts in the middle of the bale circle. When Schnabelgrün lands on a bale with Otto's silhouette on it you may take Otto and can use him to scare away Schnabelgrün if you do not want a player to empty a certain bale. In the version "Monkey Magic" three chips with spoilt, "foul" grain are hidden in bales; if you pick up such a bale you cannot take grain, even if good one is present, too. But you you may use one of your "Magic Stars" to counter "Monkey Magic" and take grain, but must do so before Schnabelgrün goes to the bale.
Schnabelgrün seems to be a guarantee for good children games, the mix of memo and collecting is very nice. The versions introduce a bit of tactic and thus more interesting for older children. To quote Schnabelgrün, albeit a bit modified: Magic, Magah, Spider Hair, it's a good game we have there"!
