PLAYED FOR YOU

Johnny & Co

John Deere

Johnny the Trekker lives with his friends Corny Combine, Alli Gator and Danny Dozer on a wonderful farm; all four of them are always jolly and working hard, and when they want to have fun then they play Hide & Seek together with the farm animals. And now it is Johnny’s turn to seek! You are asked to help him.

The quartet tiles are shuffled face down and spread on the table. Each player takes one of the placement boards. In your first turn you roll the die and turn up as many tiles as the die indicates. When there are two or more identical tiles among the ones you turned up you place all of them on your own board. If you turn up tiles that all show different images you chose one image and put it on your board. The tiles you do not want or cannot use are put back face-down on the table. When it is your turn again, you look for the missing tiles showing the same image as the tile(s) on your board, turning again up as many tiles as the die indicates. There are four tiles of each image. As each player can only collect one image you must always put back images you cannot use. When you have found all four tiles with the same image, you set them aside and can start anew with a new image. When you roll Johnny you give your board to your neighbor, but keep completed sets.

When all sets of four tiles have been found, you win with most tiles.

Johnny & Co offers an enchanting mix of Lotto and Memo for the very young players, easy and cute. The green trekker is also known as a toy and therefore already a friend. And, by the way, one learns and can remember that „Combine“ is a „Mähdrescher“.
