Important Notes
Inserting and Replacing the Batteries in the Sound Egg
- The Sound Egg requires two 1.5-volt batteries of type LR03 (AAA, Micro). Because of their limited shelf life, the batteries are not included with the game.
- Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the screw on the battery compartment on the back of the Sound Egg (see picture). The screw stays attached to the compartment cover.
- Lift off the cover and insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Observe the polarity of the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
- Put the cover back on and tighten the small screw.
Game Goal
The player who remains last, after all other players have been eliminated, wins the game.
Game Components
1 Rupert Egg with sound chip, 50 topic cards
Game Setup
Shuffle the topic cards well and place them face down in the middle of the table. The player who most recently held an egg receives the Rupert Egg and becomes the first start player.
Gameplay
The start player turns over the top topic card from the deck and reads the topic on it aloud. Then he switches the egg on using the button on its side and says a word that fits the topic just read aloud.
For example, if the topic read aloud was "Pizza toppings," a fitting word could be "cheese." Immediately, the player passes the egg to any other player. That player says a different word that fits the same topic, for example "tomatoes," and passes the egg on to another player as quickly as possible. He may, however, also pass it back to the player from whom he received it.
The egg is passed from player to player in this way until, from inside it, "KRACK!" suddenly sounds. The player who is holding the egg at that moment has lost the current round. He must take the topic card as a penalty card and place it in front of himself.
This player is the start player of the next round. He takes the top topic card from the deck and reads the new topic aloud. Then he names a fitting word, starts the egg and passes it to another player, and so on.
End of the Game and Winner
As soon as a player has collected three penalty cards in front of himself, he is eliminated from the game. The remaining players continue playing until only one player is left at the end. This player is the winner.
Important: If a player is caught naming a word that has already been said in the current round, he must keep the egg until he thinks of a different word or until it goes "KRACK!"
Important Notes on the Batteries in the Sound Egg
- Avoid short-circuiting the batteries. A short circuit can cause wires to overheat and batteries to explode.
- Batteries of different types (e.g. rechargeable and non-rechargeable) or new and used batteries must not be used together.
- Batteries must be inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -) and pressed into the battery compartment with light pressure.
- Non-rechargeable batteries must not be charged. They could explode!
- Rechargeable batteries may only be charged under adult supervision.
- Empty batteries must be removed from the toy (Sound Egg).
- Dispose of used batteries in accordance with environmental regulations.
- The connecting terminals must not be short-circuited.
- Avoid deforming the batteries.
Environmental Notes
Notes on the disposal of electrical and electronic components:
The crossed-out waste bin symbol on the product, its packaging or in the instructions means that the electrical and electronic components of this product must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste (household waste) at the end of its service life, but must be taken to a separate collection point to protect health and the environment.
Free collection points for old electrical appliances, and where applicable further acceptance points for reuse of the appliances, are available near you. Please ask your municipal administration for the responsible free disposal point. If the old electrical or electronic appliance contains personal data, you are yourself responsible for deleting it before you return it.
As an end user, you are obliged to dispose of waste separately. Remove old batteries and old rechargeable batteries that are not enclosed by the old appliance, as well as lamps/light sources where they can be removed easily and without damage, before returning everything for disposal. This way they can be collected separately and recycled in a way that conserves resources and the environment.
Please avoid creating waste from electrical or electronic appliances as far as possible, for example by choosing products with a longer service life or by giving old electrical appliances a second use instead of disposing of them.
To meet its take-back obligation as a manufacturer, Kosmos takes part in the collection of old electrical appliances through municipal recycling centres. Retailers of electrical or electronic appliances, i.e. larger stores or online shops, are obliged to take back one old appliance of the same type from the end user free of charge when a new electrical or electronic appliance is supplied. For old appliances that measure no more than 25 centimetres in any external dimension, this take-back may not be tied to the purchase of an electrical or electronic appliance in the retail store or in its immediate vicinity, but it is limited to three old appliances per appliance type.
Keep the packaging and the instructions, as they contain important information.
