60 picture tiles 12 planet chips
Aim of the Game
Twenty creatures are hiding under 60 face down picture tiles. Every creature's head, body, and legs are lying in three different places. Players reveal the picture tiles, one after another. As soon as all three parts of the body of an creature can be seen, you have to be quick! The first player to slap their hand on the head tile of this creature gets it. Whoever is able to lay down the most creatures in front of them wins the game.
Set up
Mix all 60 picture tiles and spread them out on the table, face down at random. Put the planet chips at hand as a supply.
Take off all rings, watches, and bracelets, in order that nobody gets hurt.
Playing of the Game
Play proceeds in clockwise order. On your turn, you quickly flip over one picture tile in such a way that all the other players can see the tile at the same time. That's all you do. This ends your turn.
All the other players observe what creature the revealed part belongs to.
Whoever thinks that all three body parts (head, body, and legs) of an creature have been revealed now slaps one hand on this creature's head tile as quickly as possible.
The fastest player takes all three tiles of this creature and lays them down in front of them in the right order.
If somebody slaps on a head tile although not all three parts of this creature are visible yet, they take a planet chip. All tiles remain on the table as is.
If somebody slaps on the leg or body tile of an creature, they also take a planet chip.
If there are no planet chips left in the supply, the player in question takes a chip from any other player.
If nobody slaps on a tile because not all three parts of this creature are visible yet, nothing happens. Then it's the next player's turn to flip over another picture tile.
Important! All tiles revealed remain in place face up until they are taken.
End of the Game
The game ends when only 9 picture tiles are left on the table. The remaining three creatures stay there.
Now each player individually adds up the creatures they have lying face up in front of them. For each creature they get 3 points. For each planet chip they deduct one point from their total. The player with the most points in the end wins. In case of a tie, the tied player who has collected fewer planet chips wins. There can be more than one winner.
