Bella Blümchen (2011)

About this game

Bella Blümchen is an entry-level game for toddlers and other youngsters. On your turn, you roll the die, then move Bella Blümchen the sheep around the hexagonal garden. If she lands on a flower, then the player claims it as a reward for bringing Bella to this beautiful setting. (Thus killing the flower and laying waste to the beauty of the setting, but never mind.) To end your turn, flip over the top flower tile and place it by the appropriately colored hedge in the garden. Whoever collects the most flowers wins.

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 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
