The small bear would like to get dressed. He knows what he would like to wear... the green pants, for example, with blue & red shirt and the pirate headscarf. Who will help him find those things? Kleiner Teddy (small bear) is a set of four different games using the same components for the youngest gamers. They can build the little bear up from the individual pieces of clothes or have a contest to find the things he likes the most. The game helps develop memory, turn-taking & recognition skills. -- paraphrased from a Babel-lation of the Spiel des Jahres entry http://spieldesjahres.kiratec.eu/cms/front_content.php?idcatart=617&id=524
Kleiner Teddy supports 3–5 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 Kleiner Teddy is 10 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 Kleiner Teddy for ages 3 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.
