About the game
Another children’s game from Klaus Teuber involving animals, meals and memory. The other one is Die Ritter von der Haselnuss. Here the player is a badger (Dachs in German) in a forest. The forest has paths that lead to various amounts of meals for the badger. Once a badger reaches an area, he must roll the die a number of times equal to the amount of meals presented, and for each roll turn over the correct tiles. If the player turns over the correct tiles, the player gets to keep the meal tile, which will have a number of points on the downside (the more meals the higher points, usually). First player to the point goal wins the game. (The goal varies depending on the number of players.)

Hallo Dachs! supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Hallo Dachs! is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Hallo Dachs! for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Hallo Dachs! has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
