  1. Carla Cat

    Carla Cat

    "Spitz paß auf!" is a children's game for 2-6 players. One player rolls the dice while others place their pieces on the game board. When a 1 or 6 is rolled, the dice roller must cover the pieces with a cup, while the other players try to pull their pieces off the board quickly. If they fail to do so, they must give the roller a game piece as a penalty. The game ends when a player collects a set number of game pieces or loses them all.
