The hand
Choose any of your animals and give it to another player who now has to pile the
animal carefully on the pyramid.
The question mark
The other players now determine which of your animals you have to pile. Do this
with utmost care.
Collapse of the animal pyramid!
Have animals tumbled down during stacking? Or does the whole pyramid collap-
se? The stacking ends immediately.
Important rules in case of a collapse
• If one or two animals have fallen off, the player who tried to pile them has to
take them into their provision.
• If more than two animals have fallen off, the player takes two of them and puts
the rest back in the game box.
• Has the entire pyramid collapsed? The player has to take two animals. The cro-
codile is put back in the center and all remaining animals are returned to the
box.
• All animals fall off the pyramid without anybody intervening? In this case all
the animals which have fallen off are placed back in the box.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as a player is left without animals. They win and are elec-
ted best animal stacker of the day.
Variation for Animal Stacking Experts
Experienced players also take the following supplementary rules into account!
• If you are less than four players you distribute the remaining animals at ran-
dom between you.
• If animals fall off the pyramid, the piling player has to take up to five animals.
• If it is the turn of a player who is left with just one animal the die isn´t thrown,
but the player takes the animal and stacks it immediately onto the pyramid.
