Schmidt Spiele Card Game Range - Six Options Available

Tarantula Tango

• The game consists of 120 animal cards (dog, cow, donkey, goat, cat as well as parrot and 5 special tarantula cards)
• Each player gets his share of cards and forms his own face- down stack. The goal of the game is to get rid of one's cards as fast as possible. To do so, cards are placed clockwise around a five-sided Tarantula tile in the middle of the table. Before turning over the top card from his stack, a player might have to imitate the animal on the previous player's card (by saying "wuff", "eee-ah" etc.)
• This depends on some features of this previous card: If it shows one or two spiders the player has to "imitate" once or twice, else he has to remain silent. Then he may put his top card down in the next slot clockwise around the Tarantula tile, except when there are two animals on the previous card
• Then the new card goes in the next but one slot ... All in a time limit of 2 seconds max. And finally, if the new card is a Tarantula, all players have to smack their hand down on the table (to "chase it off")
• If anyone makes a mistake or is too slow, he has to take all cards on the table into his own stack and a new round begins. Several additional expert rules make it even more complicated to get rid of the cards and provoke more mistakes, e.g. cards have to be placed on previous donkeys as these are to stubborn to move on or curious dogs change the direction of placing cards (clockwise to counter-clockwise and vice versa)
• Suitable for: 8 years or over 
• Material: Cardboard 
• Dimensions: 11 x 11 x 4cm 
• Package Contents: 1 x Tarantula Tango

Cheating Moth

•  Cheating is forbidden? Not in this naughty game of cards - in fact, you'll probably have to cheat in order to win
• In Mogel Motte you want to get rid of all the cards in your hand before anyone else. Each player starts the round with a hand of eight cards, with one player (the oldest) receiving the guard bug – which stays on the table throughout the game and one card being turnd face-up to start a discard pile
• The cards are numbered 1-5, with the majority of them having only numbers; some cards have special abilities that come into play when added to the discard pile or in a player's hand
• On a turn, a player places one card from her hand onto the discard pile; that card must be numbered exactly one higher or lower than the card on top of the discard pile. (The numbers wrap, so a 1 can be played on a 5 and vice versa.) If a player can't play a card, she draws one from the deck and her turn ends
• There's another way to rid yourself of cards, though: cheating! Throughout the round, you can make cards disappear by dropping them on the floor, hiding them up your sleeve and so on. You must keep your hand of cards above the table at all times, you can't vanish more than one card at once, and you can't rid yourself of your final card this way. The player with the guard bug – and only him! – can call out other players for cheating, and no one can cheat while the accusation is being resolved. If the accusation was false, the Guard must draw a card; otherwise the cheating player takes back the card she tried to lose, is given a card from the Guard's hand as additional punishment, and becomes the new Guard.
• Cheating is a necessity as the "Cheating Moth" cards can't be played onto the discard pile, but must be disappeared via cheating. (The Guard, however, can play these cards as the Guard is not allowed to cheat.)
• Suitable for: 7 years or over 
• Material: Cardboard 
• Dimensions: 11 x 11 x 4cm
• Package Contents: 1 x Cheating Moth

Cockroach Poker

• Cockroach Poker is a reverse set collection game that has nothing to do with poker – except that the game is all about bluffing, but with cards that show cockroaches, rats and stink bugs instead of queens, 10s and aces
• The goal of the game is to force another player to collect 4 of any one type of critter. The deck includes 64 cards, with eight copies of eight types of critters
• To set up the game, shuffle the deck and deal the cards out to players. On a turn, a player takes one card from his hand, lays it face down on the table, slides it to a player of his choice, and declares a type of critter, e.g., "Stink bug"
• The game ends when a player has no cards to pass on his turn or when a player has four cards of the same critter on the table in front of him. In either case, this player loses and everyone else wins
• Suitable for: 8 years or over 
• Material: Cardboard 
• Dimensions: 11 x 11 x 4cm
• Package Contents: 1 x Cockroach Poker
