Details

An engaging competition game for smart players. The old fable of the race between the hare and the tortoise shows that blindly running towards the goal does not automatically lead to victory. Even the slow can win if he is smart. This game is a race in which the players have to be as fast as the hare sometimes and then as slow and thoughtful as the tortoise if they want to win. So each player is simultaneously hare and turtle. At first sight, the game gives the impression of representing a game of goose. But make no mistake! No dice to be seen. The players are in full control of everything. If you want to make rapid progress, you will consume a lot of carrots. Anyone who decides to stand still or even to walk backwards will receive carrots. At each turn, you have to decide whether to follow the hare's (fast, high-consumption) or the tortoise's (slow, earning) strategy. This is probably one of the best tactical games of the past 20 years. The author is an authority on card games. This game perfectly translates the atmosphere from the matching story. Number of players: 2 - 6 Age: from 8 years old Content: - 1 game board - 6 wooden playing figures - 90 carrot cards - 18 salad cards - 12 hare cards - 6 racing cards - game rules
