Preparation

• The rabbit, cow and frog and the 3 universe cards are placed in the centre of the table.
• The 30 cards are shuffled and placed in a pile in the centre of the table; they represent the stack.

Game Proceedings

• The youngest player turns over a card from the stack.
• All the children look at this card and discover to which universe it belongs.
• Once they have discovered what universe this element comes from, they hurry to grab the corresponding animal and place it on the suitable universe.
• The 1st player to put down the right animal wins the turned over card.

(E.g.: the turned over card is the fish. The fish is part of the frog universe: the pond. The quickest to play his frog on the «pond universe» card wins the «fish» card.)

• If a player gets it wrong, he puts a previously won card beneath the stack. (If he doesn't yet have any, nothing happens.)
• Then the player to the left of the youngest player turns over a new card and the game continues. And so on.

Who Wins?

Depending on the desired game time, you can decide at the beginning of the game that the winner will be:

• the player who has won the most cards when there are no more cards in the stack,
• or the first player to have won 5 cards.
