the beginning, but that doesn’t matter. Each player shuffles his cards
again and puts them in front of himself as a face-down stack.
All players should take off sharp-edged watches or rings before the
game, to make sure nobody gets hurt in the heat of battle.
How to Play
The youngest player starts the game.
On his turn, each player turns over the
top card of his stack and puts it down
between his stack and the bell, face-up.
It becomes the first card of that player’s
face-up discard pile. Then the turn to
play passes clockwise at once.
When you turn over a new card, put it on
your own discard pile so that it comple-
tely covers the previous card and only
the topmost card of the pile is visible.
Turning over your card
Turn the card over facing away from
you, to ensure that you do not have the
unfair advantage to see the card before
the other players do. The faster you
turn over the card, the sooner you will
also see it yourself.
When to ring the bell?
There are fruit cards and animal cards in the game. The fruit cards
show bananas, plums, strawberries and limes in different combinati-
ons. The animal cards show either an elephant, a monkey or a pig.
You must try to ring the bell whenever the face-up discard piles of all
players form one of the following four constellations.
