📖 About This Game
Simple childrens/family cooperative game where you try to keep your organic garden safe from pests, while trying to catch as many of them as you can.
The game consists of a 12"X 12" board made up of nine different numbered garden patches, 7 cardboard garden pests numbered 1-6, paperboard havahart trap, 2 dice and electric fence chart (used in harder game play).
Setup: put pests on the board in the matching black numbered/picture patch of the garden. The skunk starts the game off the board next to the number 1 space. Oldest player goes first.
A turn consists of the following actions:
1. Put the open trap on any garden patch
2. Roll both dice to see which pests move.
A pest is moved to its matching picture. Back and forth between its black numbered space and the bottom row of the garden with red-numbered picture/spaces. A 1 rolled, moves both a pest, AND moves the skunk onto the board. The skunk only moves on a 1, and follows the green dotted path through the garden.
If a pest ends up in the trap at the end of a turn, it is caught and moved off the board. It CAN re-enter the game if doubles of their number are rolled! Skunks cannot be removed from the board.
The game ends when all the pests have been caught and are off the board, OR the skunk moves through all 9 garden patches and leaves the garden.
If the skunks departure ends the game, count up how many pests you got rid of, and try for more next time!
