1 attic consists of:

• box base
• insert
• grid made up of 4 pieces
• 1 attic floor board
• 1 monster game board
• 24 tiles showing attic junk

10 white sheets of paper 4 play figures 4 colored pencils 4 bone tiles 1 set of instructions

Before the First Game

Carefully press the cardboard pieces out of the tableaus and discard the tableaus.

Preparation

First assemble the Attic:

1. Take all of the game material out of the box. The insert should be placed back in the bottom of the box and arranged to match the box base (the picture of Pit the guard dog inside should be positioned in the same place as the picture on the outside).
2. Place the box base in the center of the table (1).
3. Assemble the grid as illustrated, place it inside the box base (2), place the attic floor game board on top of it (3).
4. Now place one of the white sheets of paper on the game board (4).
5. Place the monster game board, in any direction, on top of the paper with the monster side facing up (5).
6. Then arrange the 24 tiles featuring attic junk, face-up in any arrangement you like (6). A monster field of your choice remains uncovered.
7. Each player takes a game figure and the matching color pencil. Each player places their play figure on the starting field (see arrow), on the edge of the box base. Each player receives one bone tile (7).

Excess white sheets of paper, play figures, pencils and bone tiles are placed into the box lid as they are not needed.

How to Play

Take turns playing in a clockwise direction. The player who is the least afraid of monsters begins first.

1. Begin the monster search. Carefully use your finger to slide one, two, three or four junk tiles in a row, either horizontally or vertically. After you slide, a new hungry monster appears under the junk. Important! Multiple tiles can only be slid together as a block, not individually or one after another!

2. Be brave and look into the monster's open mouth.

   • Is there no snack in the monster's mouth? What monstrous luck!
   • Are there already one or more snacks in the monster's mouth? Oh no, here comes a big monster burp! Someone has already fed this monster; you move your game figure along the edge of the box base in a clockwise direction by as many fields as there are snacks in the monster's mouth. One field is one window. Multiple figures can stop on the same field.

3. Feed the monster. Use your pencil to draw a little monster snack (a small curl, circle, cross etc.) in the open monster's mouth. A monster revealed is always fed each time, regardless of how many times it has already been fed.

Examples:

• It's Leo's turn, and he slides 3 tiles. He's lucky; the monster he uncovered hasn't been fed yet. He draws a snack in the monster's mouth with his green pencil.
• Now it's Sina's turn; she slides the tile with the globe. What a pity, the monster she uncovered has already been fed twice. Sina moves her play figure two fields forward along the box edge. She uses her pencil to draw a new monster snack in the monster's mouth.

Then it's the next player's turn to move the tiles to search for monsters.

When a player lands on or passes over the field with Pit the guard dog (the last field before the starting field) for the first time, the player needs to hand over his bone to get past Pit. Place the bone back into the box lid and continue the monster search.

Note: Towards the end of the game it becomes more and more exciting, as you've already fed a lot of the monsters at least once. This means that you get frightened and run toward the exit whenever you uncover a monster that's burping and smacking its lips. Players who can remember where the hungry monsters are (those with few snacks in their mouths), have a clear advantage!

End of the Game

When a player reaches the guard dog for the second time they have no way of distracting him. This player leaves the attic and the game. The remaining adventurers continue playing until only one player is left in the attic. This player wins the game, and may call themselves "The bravest monster feeder of all time". Congratulations!

• Do you want to know whether there are still hungry monsters in the attic after the game is over? Simply take all the tiles off the monster game board. Sometimes you'll find monster mouths that seem to be completely undiscovered. Hard to believe ...

Tip

If all the white sheets of paper have been used up, you can use standard A4 or Letter paper. Simply cut it into a square.
