HABA 306425 Rhino Hero Missing Match

Introduction

A lightning-fast observation game for 2 to 4 superheroes ages 4 years and up.

Game Designer: Thade Precht
Illustrator: Thies Schwarz
Game Developer: Christiane Hüpper
Playtime: 10 -15 Minutes

Chaos reigns in Rhino City! The villain Forest Fox has been wreaking havoc for weeks. What’s really strange is that he’s been making just one of each of the many pairs of twins in the city disappear. Poof!
And another twin has disappeared into thin air without leaving a trace all that remains is a cloud of dust. The second twin is always left standing bewildered
But help is on the way Rhino Hero is flying to the rescue! Will he be able to find all the missing twins?
The player who pays the most attention and reunites the most pairs of twins wins the game.

Game Setup

Shuffle the twin cards and place them on the table so that no card overlaps. Try to make sure that matching cards are not next to each other. Each player selects a superhero figure. The Rhino Hero card and the timer are placed in the middle of the play area so that everyone can see them easily. Keep the Forest Fox disappearance card handy.
Game Setup

How to Play

Whoever last wore a cape goes first and takes the Forest Fox disappearance card. They’ll play the villain in this round, and the other players are superheroes.

The game is played over several rounds, each round consisting of a Hiding and then a Rescuing phase:

Hiding: The villain strikes again.
The villain calls out: _“ Close your eyes! ”
All the superheroes close their eyes immediately. The villain chooses any twin card from the center of the table, places it in front of them and covers it with the disappearance card.
They can also hide the card with their hand.
Tip: If the gap is too obvious when the card is removed, it can be concealed by moving the surrounding cards together a little.
After they’ve successfully hidden the card, they call out “ Stop the fox_!” and all the superheroes may open their eyes again.
Rescuing: Now it’s time for the superheroes to get to work!

The villain turns the sand timer over and the superheroes immediately start searching for the twin card that is only visible once (all the other twin cards are in pairs).
If a superhero is sure that they have found the right card, they quickly place their figure on it and call: “Marked!” Meanwhile, all other superheroes are allowed to keep searching.
How To Play
The villain immediately states whether the marked twin card matches the card they have hidden:

  *   **No?**

The player who marked the wrong card may not continue searching, and leaves their play figure where it is. The search continues until either the missing twin is found, or the time is up.
How To Play

  *  **Yes?**

Well done! The round is over. The player has reunited the twins! As a reward, they receive both twin cards and place the pair in front of them.
How To Play

Have all players marked an incorrect card? Or did the time run out before a player marked the correct card?
Then the villain won the round! The villain shows all superheroes the twin card that they hid, takes the matching card from the center, and places both in front of them.
The next player in a clockwise direction is the new villain and receives the disappearance card. They start the new round.

End of the Game

The game ends once only 8 twin cards are left in the center at the end of the round. Now everyone counts their twin pairs. The winner is the player who has rescued the most pairs of twins. In the event of a tie, the tied players share the win.
Tips: The game can be made a little easier by laying out fewer twin pairs at the start of the game, or by turning the timer over twice during the Rescuing phase.
