A board game for 2-4 players aged 8 years and upwards

Contents of the Game: 1 game board, 4 counters, 1 dice, game instruction

The main goal of this game is to participate in the adventures of Puss in Boots and to be the first to get to the Castle (field 80). Players move their counters on the board; some fields delay or speed up the Puss in its march to the castle.

Before the game:

All players select counters. The youngest participant starts the game. Other players toss the dice in the clockwise direction, to establish the playing order (throwing “six” means that you are next). At the beginning of the game, all the counters are placed on the field 1. Throwing a “six” during the game means throwing the dice again.

Special spaces on the board:

1. Game start

8. You have caught a rabbit- calculate the perimeter of the square-shaped base of the cage, where the Puss in Boots keeps the rabbit’s snack. Try the formula:

P=4cm+4cm+4cm+4cm. (P=4x4cm). If you are correct (P=16cm) you toss the dice again. If your answer is wrong- you lose your turn.

14. The King has warmly welcomed you. He accepted your gift. You wait one turn, because he invited you for a feast.

15. You hunted three times. Each time you caught 3 partridges. How many birds did the Puss in Boots take to the King? If you are correct, move your counter 9 fields forward. (The answer is 3x3=9). If you are wrong, move your counter 9 fields backwards.

20. You left your hat when visiting the King. Go back to start, field 1.

Puss in Boots encourages the Miller to swim in the river. The swim takes a quarter. If you know how many minutes a quarter lasts, move your counter to the field 30. If you are wrong, move 2 fields back.

33. Everything is according to the plan. Go 5 fields forward.

34. The Miller, the King and the Princess are heading into the Ogre’s Castle. It takes three quarters. How many minutes is it? If you are correct, go to the field 38.(The answer is 45 minutes). If you are wrong, you lose one turn.

46. You reached the Ogre’s Castle; however you were talking with him for a while. You have to wait one turn.

56. The Ogre turns into a lion. You are so scared that you move 8 fields back.

60. The Ogre turns into a mouse. Puss in Boots eats the mouse. You have an extra toss.

80. Puss in Boots waits for the Miller and the King in the castle. Move in into the Ogre’s castle and finish the game.

You are allowed to move your counter on the field 80 when you throw the exact number of the fields you are away from the finish. You are the winner when you are the first on the field 80. Other players continue playing for places 2-4.
