Ratzolino (2000)

This game for Ages 3 and up and premiered at Essen 2000. Included are 19 various wooden play figures, mainly animals, and 10 game markers. In the first game the pieces are laid out in plain sight of all. An older player reads a story and when any of the figures is named, each player tries to be the first to grab it. If the figure has already been named, the player takes a marker instead. At the end of the story the player with the most pieces wins. In the second game, the pieces are laid out in an order and the player must identify them to get a point. The last game is one of remembering which pieces have been named. It is similar to the earlier Ratz-Fatz and some of the scenarios can be used to make a larger combined game, so in some ways this is an expansion kit. Integrates with: Ratz-Fatz
