About the game
In Das Rotkäppchen Duell, players each race to find three picnic baskets in the forest first, but they risk getting lost among the trees. To set up a round, each player takes their fifteen stand-up trees, then places them in the center of the table with any images on those trees facing them. On a turn, a player chooses any one tree that looks blank to them (since no tree has images on both sides), then rotates it 180º. If they find an empty tree or a tree that bears only signposts, their turn ends. If they find a picnic basket, they keep it! If they find the big bad wolf, they must give a basket to their opponent. And if they find the woodsman, they take another turn immediately. The first player to find three basket collects a coin, and the first player to collect two coins wins the game.
