Similar to Ratz-Fatz, this is a collection of game ideas and materials. The box contains 50 wooden figures (mostly animals, but also a train, truck, pirate etc.), 4 little metal suitcases, a die, a game book and a CD with stories and a song. Basic idea: The wooden figures are placed on the table. While a story, poem or riddle is being read (or played from the CD), the players have to listen closely. When an object from the table is mentioned or the solution to a riddle, the players have to grab it. The player who has collected the most figures at the end of the text wins the game. Variants include just putting the figures into the box after they were mentioned (non-competitive play) and a memory variant in which objects that were put away before the game have to be called out when mentioned in the story.
