Happy Little Farmers

This game can be played with 2-4 players. Before the game starts, shuffle the farmer cards well. Place them in a large circle on the table, with the picture of the title card on top. Make a face-down stack of the combination cards and place this stack in the middle of the circle along with a fake egg. The first player may turn over the top card of the stack. Each player, in turn during this round, may flip over 1 card from the circle. Everyone looks at the happy farmer and the features: color of straw hat, color of overalls, color of boots, and farm attribute. Does this farmer match the combination card that is face up? If yes, quickly grab the egg! If you are the fastest to grab the egg, you get to keep the combination card (worth 1 point). Place the egg back! The found farmer remains face up in the circle. If the farmer does not match the card, your turn ends. Turn the round farmer card back over. The card on the stack remains face up during this round. If the correct farmer is not found during the round, the combination card goes back to the bottom of the stack. Continue like this until you have found all the happy farmers. The player who has collected the most cards and thus the most points is the winner!

Tip

You can replace the egg with another object or omit it and simply play as a memory game searching for all matching happy farmers. For differentiation, you can use fewer cards and place them on a grid within fixed slots.
