‘New Year’s Lotto’ wooden game

About the game

In the New Year’s village, all the characters have suddenly turned black and white. How can we restore their bright colours? Find the matching coloured tokens — and the festive picture will gradually come to life!

‘New Year’s Lotto’ is a wooden game with double-sided boards and coloured tokens. The child looks at the black-and-white characters, finds their coloured images and covers the corresponding spaces. With every correctly matched token, the festive scene becomes increasingly vibrant.

From the first coloured character to a fully filled board — a little New Year’s miracle that the child creates all by themselves.

In the set

• wooden box measuring 23 × 16 × 5 cm
• 6 double-sided game boards — 12 scenes featuring black-and-white characters
• 48 wooden tokens featuring colourful characters
• a fabric pouch

How to play

1. Hand out the game boards.
2. The game leader takes a token from the bag and names a character.
3. Whoever finds that character on their board covers it with a coloured token. The first person to ‘colour in’ their board wins.

Start with a single board and play without the bag — simply match the pairs.
