Mozquitoz

Dossier

Welcome to the buzziest, hungriest challenge ever! Seven mosquito chefs are ready to cook up the most delicious dishes from around the world... and their secret ingredient is you! In this game of speed and memory, you’ll have to squash the mosquitoes before they turn you into their next meal! Mozquitoz is a game that requires both speed and memory. It is played over a total of three rounds, each with 7 cards to win. Place card number 1 (fuchsia) in the centre of the table and take the fuchsia die. The player who most recently killed a mosquito rolls the die and then the game continues clockwise. Try to be the first to put your hand on the card, but only after having done the action indicated by the die. If you win the card, you put it in front of you on the back side, and the die is placed in the dice tray inside the box with the face that just came out facing up. Now, after closing the box so that the die just played is not visible, place card number 2 (purple) in the centre of the table and roll the purple die. Try to be the first to do the action indicated by the die and then put your hand on the card. If you have done the wrong action (e.g. you hit your neck instead of your forehead), you have a penalty (see page 3), otherwise you have the chance to win the card, but only if you properly repeat the sequence of actions from the previous turns. While you repeat the sequence, remembering to conclude it by tapping your hand on the card as in the example below, the other players check that it is correct by looking at all the dice that have already come up inside the box (as in the picture on the side). Is the sequence you made correct? YES You win the card and the die is put in the tray at the end of the sequence. All the dice are covered by the lid of the box. The card with the next score (e.g. 4) is placed in the centre of the table and the new die, of the same colour (e.g. light blue), is taken and then thrown NO NO. Unfortunately you take a penalty (see page 3), nobody wins the card and the same die must be rolled again, without being put within the tray. You get a penalty when you don’t properly remember the sequence of all the actions or when you do the wrong action before putting your hand on the card in the centre of the table. After taking a penalty, you can’t participate in the next roll of the die. After having skipped a game turn, you will be in the game again. If you get a third penalty you must abandon the current round and you will return to play starting from the next round. When the last of the 7 cards (the red one) is won, the round ends and all players sum up the points of all the mosquito cards that they have conquered. The score of the second round is added to the score of the first round, and the same for the score of the third round. All players begin the second and the third round without penalties. If they ended the round with a sting card, they put it back into the box. At the end of the third round, the player with the highest score is the winner. —description from the designer
