There are tripping hazards everywhere in the enchanted forest. The forest floor tips away there under your feet ... and ... oops ... you're lying on your nose. To avoid these insidious traps, the players memorise where it's better not to set foot. This way, their Zausel gnomes can safely reach the forest clearings where they have forgotten their beloved hats. With the hats on their heads, they then make their way back to their Zausel hut via the stumbling blocks, where each hat they bring along adds to their own hat collection. As the coolest hats have more rings, the winner is the one who brings home the hats with the most rings.
Die Zausel vom Zauberwald is a richly equipped memory and collecting adventure in which children usually show adults how never to stray from the safe path.
