Then add a hat and stick a nose and

eyes into it ... and the snowman is ready!

Contents

1 game board

4 big snowballs (bottom parts of snowmen)

4 medium sized snowballs (bellies of snowmen)

4 small snowballs (heads of snowmen with eyes, nose and hat)

1 die with dots (1-3)

Aim of the game

The first player who is able to not only collect three parts of the

snowman, but is able to assemble the snowman and be the first to the

finish line wins this snowy game.

Preparation of the game

Each player chooses a color and places the three corresponding

snowballs (bottom part, belly and head) on the corresponding starting

squares. If there are only 2 or 3 players, the remaining pieces remain in

the box. Get the dice ready.

How to play

The player who can remember when it last snowed may start. If

nobody remembers, the youngest player starts.

You play in a clockwise direction. If it's your turn, throw the die

once and move counterdockwise as many squares as dots are shown.

Begin at the first colored square next to the starting squares.

The rules are:

You play with the biggest snowball until you've reached one of the

colored squares leading up to the finish. Then you may move the

medium-sized (belly) and then the snowball which represents the head.

You cannot start moving a snowball from the starting square before

the previous one has reached one of the colored finishing squares.

Once there are various game pieces in the game (one or more on the

finishing squares and one on the circuit), you can choose which

game piece you want to move.

Watch out:

• If a snowball lands on a square with a sun, it has to be moved

back to the next free square (if not, it will melt away).

• If a snowball lands on an occupied square, it can be moved on to the

next free square. Exception: if the next free square is a sun square it

has to be moved back to the first free square.

• It is permitted to jump over the snowballs of other players.

• If the last square before the finishing squares is occupied, you can

put the snowball directly on the first colored finishing square.

• If you cannot move any of the snowballs, or bring new ones into

the game, your turn is over.

• On the finishing squares, your snowballs can not jump over each

other, but you can take them piggy-back style and move them to the

•The finish has to be reached by getting the exact number of dots on

the die.

and brings it to the finish, wins the game.The other player can keep on

Piggy-back

Variation for 2 - 4 players ages 6 and up.

Aim of the game

Who will be the first to get a complete snowman to the finish?

Preparation of the game

Each player takes the three snowballs of one color and places

them on the corresponding starting squares. Get the die ready.

How to play

As in the basic game you play in a clockwise direction, throwing the die

once and moving as many squares as dots are shown on the die. In this

variation the parts of the snowmen can either be moved one by one to

the finishing squares, or they can be moved piggy-back style (respecting

the order bottom part, belly, head) along the way.You start with the

biggest snowball (bottom part) and, at any moment, can bring the other

body parts into the game.The players whose turn it is can freely choose

the snowball he/she wants to move, but it always obliged to move if

he/she can.

Watch out:

•You cannot jump over your own snowballs but you can jump

over those of other players.

• If a snowball lands on a square with the sun, it has to be moved back

to the next free square. If two or three parts land piggy-back style on

a sun square, only the top part has to be moved back. You have to

leave the sun square in the next round.

• If one or more snowballs land on an occupied square, you can move

them on to the next free square. If this is a sun square the snowball

on top has to be placed back on an empty square.

• If you cannot move any of your snowballs (e.g. towards the end of the

game), then you can't do anything and it's the next player's turn.

• If the last square before the finishing squares is occupied, you can

move directly to the first finishing square.

• A snowball or the entire snowman can only reach the finish with the

exact number of dots on the die.

End of the game

The first player who gets his/her snowman to the finish wins the game.

The other players can keep playing until there is a second and third

winner.

Attenzione:

• E’ proibito superare le proprie palline di neve ma è permesso

saltare sopra quelle degli altri giocatori.

• Se una pallina di neve arriva sulla casella sole, verrà retrocessa alla

prima casella libera dietro la casella sole. Se due o tre palline montate

a cavalcioni arrivano alla casella sole, la pallina più alta dovrà essere

retrocessa. Il giocatore dovrà in ogni caso lasciare la casella sole al

prossimo turno.

• Se una o più palline di neve arrivano su una casella occupata, esse

possono avanzare alla casella libera successiva. Se questa casella

libera è una casella sole, la pallina più alta dovrà venire retrocessa.

• Se nessuna pallina di neve può essere mossa, (per esempio verso la

fine del gioco), il giocatore passa il turno.

• Se l’ultima casella prima di quella d’arrivo (=casella di colore) è

occupata, il giocatore ha diritto di avanzare direttamente alla prima

casella del suo colore.

• La pallina di neve o il pupazzo di neve devono arrivare direttamente

alla fine ottenendo con il dado il numero esatto di punti.

Fine del gioco

Vince la partita colui che porta per primo il proprio pupazzo di neve

all’arrivo. Si può continuare il gioco per sapere chi sarà il secondo e il

terzo.
