PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Buntes Blumen-Rennen

Butterflies and Grashoppers

 

Beneath the beautiful flowers in many pretty colors many animal friends from the garden are hiding and players are tasked with searching for them.

The 24 flower cards are well shuffled and laid out animal side down and evenly distributed. With this flower meadow one can play four different games:

Das große Rennen is aimed at 2-8 players. The task cards are shuffled and placed face-down next to the flowers. The top card is turned up and all spring to find the correct flower, you can only turn up one flower at a time. If you find the correct flower you take it and turn over the next card. If you are first to collect three flowers you win.

Der Bienenschwarm is played with 2-4 teams; one team gets three task cards and turns over the top one; one team members runs and searches for the correct flower by turning up one by one. Then the next player looks for the next card.

Memo is meant for 2-4 players. You turn up two flowers: When they show identical animals you can set them aside and turn up another two flowers, when the animals are different you turn the flowers over again. When all flowers have been collected you win with most pairs.

For Blumentanz you lay out number of player minus one flowers of each color. All players run circles around the flowers and hum a melody; the oldest player names a color and each player must quickly find such a flower and touch it. If you do not find one you are out of the game and one flower of each color is removed. Last one in play wins!

This is an enchanting version of well-known standard mechanisms, especially intended for playing outdoors; simple, colorful, and simply beautiful.
