SETTING UP

chooses a colour and the related player

HOW TO PLAY
The person who ate a kiwi most recently goes first. The round
goes clockwise.
In the beginning of every round the players have to guess the
colour of the field where the kiwi will stand during the next
check. Choose the right guessing card, and place it facing
down in front of you. Then each player plays a movement card
one by one by putting it in the middle, always covering the
previous card. You dont make the steps with the kiwi, just
remember its position.
The movement cards mark the direction and the distance: up
or down, left or right, 1, 2, or 3 steps. If the kiwi reaches the
edge of the board it stops, even if the movement card shows
more steps. If the same movement card has been already
played in the same round, it will not take effect.

For the correct guess you get 3 points in the first round, 4
points in the second round, and 5 points in the third round. You
get 1 point if you are mistaken by only one field (you placed
your token on an adjacent field). You also get 1 point if your
guess before the round was right and the colour of the field is
the same as on your guessing card. If the kiwi ends up on the
starting point in the middle, then every guess is correct and
everybody gets 1 point. The winner is the player with the
highest score. If there are several players with the same score
the winner is the one who got more points in the last round. If
they remain tied the victory is shared among them.

FOR SMALLER KIDS

When playing with younger kids for the first time you can leave out the rule that says that one movement card only counts once. After
a few games when they are already comfortable with the game you can introduce the rule to them.

FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS
