Goal
You try to answer as many questions correctly as you can and complete challenges. Along the way you collect tiles, which at the end make up half a lemon slice. The first player to complete this slice wins.
Be sure to squeak with the lemon every time before you put it back. This is very important and is explained in more detail below!
Setup (it really is easy peasy!)
Place the square board in the middle of the table and put the lemon on it, so that everyone can reach it easily.
Shuffle the cards with the "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeaky" logo on the back well and place them face down next to the lemon. Lay out the lemon tiles next to them.
Decide whether you want to play individually or in teams. Then deal each player (or each team) 2 "SOUR" cards. You may play them at the start of a round. It is up to you to decide when that is strategically sensible. Once a "SOUR" card has been played, it must go back into the box and may not be used again in this game.
There are 3 kinds of "SOUR" card:
Without Hands (Ohne Hände): Pass this card to someone else. Whoever receives it may not use their hands to squeak the lemon... any other body part is fine!
Claws (Klauen): Pass this card to someone else. Whoever receives it must hand one of their tiles over to you.
Squeezed Out (Ausgequietscht): Pass this card to someone else. Whoever receives it must skip a round.
How to Play
Whoever bought a lemon most recently goes first and is the first "Lemon Master". The Lemon Master reads out the current card in each round. The Lemon Master role passes clockwise every round. The Lemon Master may not guess in the current round, nor complete the challenge.
At the start of each round, all players must place their hands on the edge of the table and be ready to grab the lemon. Then the Lemon Master reads the top card of the deck aloud.
Question Cards (grab and squeak!)
If you grab the lemon first on a question card and squeak with it, you may answer the question. The correct answer is printed in bold on each card. If you answer correctly, you may take ONE tile from the supply.
If you answer incorrectly, you must put ONE tile back into the supply (if you have one).
Attention: before you put the lemon back in the middle of the table, you must... well... exactly: squeak! If someone else at the table notices that you forgot, that person may take one of your tiles.
The Lemon Master has the final word on disputed questions!
Challenge Cards
For a challenge card, everyone must take part (except the Lemon Master). Whoever completes the challenge first squeaks with the lemon and wins the challenge. As a reward, they take ONE tile from the supply. Everyone else must hand over ONE tile (if they have one).
Attention: before you put the lemon in the middle of the table, you must again... of course... exactly: squeak! If someone else at the table notices that you forgot, that person may take one of your tiles.
Who Wins?
If you are the first to form a lemon slice with your tiles (from 4 lemon tiles), you win. You may now perform a lemon victory dance while squeaking with the lemon.
Notes on the Source
- The goal text says the tiles add up to "half a lemon slice", while the win condition says a lemon slice is formed from 4 lemon tiles. Both are transcribed as printed.
- The printed sheet ends with an age warning in several languages. In English it reads: not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts. Choking hazard.
