About the game
Watch the growing pile of cards and strike at the right moment to catch the most bloodsuckers! But be careful: if you swat the wrong insects, you'll lose points and get a lot of itching. You'll need quick eyes and nimble reflexes – so get ready for a good dose of mosquito swatting! The dealer takes turns turning over cards in the middle of the table. All players watch closely, because when the right moment comes, it's time to strike! The fastest player grabs the entire pile of cards – the ‘pot’. A game ends when everyone has collected their pots or the deck is empty. After three rounds, the points are counted – and only the best mosquito swatter wins! —description from the publisher Beobachte den wachsenden Kartenstapel und schlag im richtigen Moment zu, um die meisten Blutsauger zu erwischen! Doch Vorsicht: Wer die falschen Insekten plattmacht, kassiert juckende Minuspunkte. Hier sind schnelle Augen und flinke Reflexe gefragt – also mach dich bereit für eine ordentliche Portion Moskitokloppen! Reihum deckt der Dealer Karten in die Tischmitte auf. Alle Spieler verfolgen aufmerksam das Geschehen, denn sobald der richtige Moment gekommen ist, heißt es: Zuschlagen! Wer am schnellsten reagiert, schnappt sich den gesamten Kartenstapel – den „Pott“. Eine Runde endet, wenn alle ihre Pötte beisammenhaben oder das Deck leer ist. Nach drei Runden werden die Punkte gezählt – und nur der beste Mückendrücker gewinnt! —description from the publisher (German)
