Two classics in one box from game design auteurs Doris and Frank. These games are German, i will prove English rules
From the Publisher's website:-
'The second game we ever printed. It has been our most successfull game for a long time. Now probably topped by Ursuppe in fame and by Frank's Zoo in edition. Still gets continually reprinted.
Simple mixture of dice roll and some skill, maybe like backgammon, but most people prefer it with more players. The game comes with 40 variations in the box, which more or less slightly alter the system. (We usually play with the "doping rule" now).
Aim of the game is, to be the first to get 3 of his 4 hedgehogs from start to goal. The trick is, that the racetrack has six numbered lanes and every turn a dice roll decides on which lane you have to move forward. To use your forward step with a own hedgehog you have the option to take a small side step in between. But since the hedgehogs tend to stack on the squares of the board and only the uppermost hedgehogs may be moved, it happens quite often that you have to move another ones hedgehogs. Additionally there is a black field on every track on which a hedgehog has to wait for all the other ones... '
'Help your bugs to escape from the spider web. Your "host" Auntie Tarantulla runs around, dice driven and with increasing pace. So you have to be very careful not to be eaten by her. On the other hand you can sometimes give another players bug a little push, so that Auntie will eat him!
The scoring system tends to rate bugs that escape later to be more valuable, so the game usually decides at the very end!
Game works for 3 to 5 players. Playing time about half an hour.'
