4 hedgehogs (consisting of 3 parts & 1 pair of glasses), 30 leaves, 1 die, 1 leaf bag, 1 rulebook
Before the First Game
Carefully remove all of the game material from the cardboard panels before starting the first game. Assemble the hedgehogs as illustrated. The cardboard frame and small cardboard pieces from the slits and holes are not needed for the game and can be thrown out.
Tip: All the hedgehogs fit into the game box while still assembled. They don't need to be taken apart at any time, and can even keep their glasses on.
Game Setup
Each player selects a hedgehog. The glasses show which color leaves they're looking for. Place your hedgehog in front of you, pointing towards the center of the table.
Are you playing with less than four players? You still play with all four hedgehogs! Place the extra hedgehogs on the edge of the play area, facing towards the center.
Put all the leaves in the leaf bag and place it in the center of the table. Keep the die handy.
How to Play
Play in a clockwise direction. The child who most often brings leaves into the house goes first and rolls the die.
What does the die show?
- 1 leaf: Without looking, draw one leaf out of the leaf bag.
- 2 leaves: Without looking, draw two leaves from the leaf bag one after another.
When a leaf is drawn from the leaf bag, show everyone the leaf so that they can see both ends well.
Is one of the points the same color as your hedgehog's glasses?
- Yes: Fantastic! Put the leaf in your hedgehog so that the point that matches your glasses points up.
- No: Too bad! Pick one of the two hedgehogs that have glasses in a matching color. If the hedgehog you pick doesn't have an owner, simply put the leaf in one of its slits. If it belongs to another player, they put the leaf in their hedgehog themselves. No matter what, the point with the same color as the glasses always needs to point up.
Wind: Oh no! The wind is blowing the leaves around! Select one leaf that is in another player's hedgehog and pull it out.
Whenever you pull a leaf out of a hedgehog, show it to everyone so that they can see the pulled out ends well.
Does it match the color of your glasses?
- Yes: Fantastic! Put the leaf in your hedgehog so that the point that matches your glasses points up.
- No: Too bad! The leaf lands on the hedgehog wearing the glasses that match the pulled out point. If the hedgehog doesn't have an owner, simply put the leaf in one of its slits. If it belongs to another player, they put the leaf in their hedgehog themselves. No matter what, the point with the same color as the glasses always needs to point up.
Do you not want to pull a leaf from another hedgehog, or is it not possible? You can instead, without looking inside, draw 1 leaf out of the leaf bag. Then the next child takes their turn and rolls the die.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as one hedgehog is completely decorated with leaves in its color. This hedgehog has the most beautiful costume and is congratulated by everyone!
It might be possible that a hedgehog without a player wins the game. That's okay, everyone can try again to win.
