Contains 53 cards and a card with rules.
For 3-4 players.

Rules
The game contains 7 “families” with 7 cards in every “family” as well as 3 joker cards.
3-4 players.

Mix the cards well and share 4 cards to every player. The rest of the cards is put in a pile – “the lake” – on the table. The youngest player starts. The game can be played in two different ways. Deside how before you start to play.

1. Every barbachild in there different shapes can create a family. If the players does not know the name of the barbachilds you can look at the colors of the card.
2. You can alsp gather on all the 6 different animalfamilies and all of the Barbachilds. Mammals, birds, fishes, marine animals, insects and lizzards are the six families.

The youngest player starts by asking any player for a card. For example: “Can i have all Barbazoo of Carl?” If Carl does not have one of those cards he says: “There in the lake” and the one who asked must pick up a card from the lake. You can only ask for a card from a family if you already have a card from that family. The easier way of playing is to just ask Carl for all yellow cards. For example.

When a player has gathered all 7 cards in a family the cards is put aside. The joker cards can replace any card as you wish. If a player has a card that was replaced by a joker, this card is put aside as well (otherwise it would only make a mess). If a player losses all his cards he can take one from the lake If you choose to gather animal families but then you ask: “Can i have all the mammals from Carl”.

The player that gets the most families wins.
