Geißlein, versteck dich!*
How many little children are hiding under the bed or in the closet? The player who correctly guesses the right number can save a child from being caught by the big bad wolf. This memory game for 2 to 4 players includes a variant for younger players as well as a fairy tale to read.
The game features six metal cups in different colors, with five wooden goat heads hidden under each cup at the start. Players take turns rolling a colored die and must declare how many goat heads are under the cup of that color. A correct guess earns the player a head, while a wrong guess means the player receives the wolf. If a player already holding the wolf makes an incorrect guess, they must throw a goat to the wolf. The game ends when a player collects seven heads to win or when the wolf collects six heads, causing all players to lose.
