About this game

CONTENTS (Ravensburger editions only): Playing board. Showing a circular journey with 2 paths, inner and outer. Spinning wolf and 12 trees on stands Dice (with a wolf instead the no. 6) 2 x 4 playing pieces. An exciting trip through the forest, as you try to avoid the prowling wolf and return to your house as quickly as you can. Throw the dice and decide whether to take the long, safe route behind the trees or the shorter, daring path right in front of the wolf. Catch up with an opponent and send him back to his house, to start all over again. But beware of the wolf! For if he spins round to face you, back you go.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
