Gone Cardboard: Selecta will release Turi-Tour

Selecta will release Turi Tour in Nuremberg, a new game from Alessandro Zucchini (Palatinus, Lucca Città, Volle Wolle).

Such excitement: The farm animals are going on holiday! But scatterbrained farmer Hannes has swapped all the tickets. Now he has put on his sunglasses and can‘t tell the sheep from the chickens… Can you help him to take the animals to their correct holiday destination?

In this exciting game of feel and touch you must first recognize the animals and afterwards place them on their correct holiday destination. This asks for sensitivity, a good memory and of course, spacial imagination.

A brief description from designer Alessandro Zucchini:

Turi-Tour is children game in which is better to have a good spatial memory and fine touch to recognize wooden animals.
It’s an easy game; on a circular board holyday places (where the animals want to spend their vacation) are depicted. The kid, during his turn, must wear blind-glasses. Another kid draws a card showing what the kid in turn must do. There are several different actions (challenges) to accomplish: recognize by touch an animal and place it on right place or just remember which is the less present animal on the board, or remove an animal because he is bored.

In such a way, the number of animals on the board will change turn after turn, making the challenges more and more exciting.
This game idea happened by chance two years ago, while I was playing with my little daughter. My partners Carlo and Alfredo (of Cogito Studio) found it a good idea so we started to develop it, often involving my daughter Chiara in playtests. From first tests, she labelled the game ‘the wolf in the wood’ but the poor wolf immediately was dismissed right after few tests. Just few days ago, I said to Chiara the game will be issued in the next days and she answered “great! The ‘the wolf in the wood’ game”
