Awards

Lotti Karotti is a children's and competition game for two to four players, ages four and up, it takes about 15 minutes per round. It was first published by Ravensburger Verlag in 2001 and was nominated for several children's play awards in Germany, Austria and France in the following years.

Theme and equipment

The game is a race game that focuses on the race of several rabbits on a carrot hill. In addition to the instructions, the contents of the game box consist of:

  • a three-dimensional game board in the form of a green hill with a rotating carrot
  • 16 pawns (rabbits in 4 colors)
  • 48 action cards

Style of play

At the beginning of the game, the hill is built in the middle of the game round. Then each player chooses a color and receives the corresponding pieces, which he places in front of him. The playing cards are shuffled and placed face down next to the hill in a pile.

The starting player reveals a card from the face-down deck and performs an action according to the motif. If he draws a card with a rabbit, he moves any of his figures the number of spaces shown at the bottom of the card forwards. Only one rabbit may stand on each square, opponent and own rabbit figures can be skipped and are not counted on the move. Holes are counted and if a train ends in a hole, the rabbit falls into the hole. The player can end his turn on either a safe or an unsafe field, after which the next player follows and makes his move. If a carrot card is drawn, the carrot is rotated until the mechanism locks. New holes open up in the playing field and if a figure stands over a hole that is being created, it falls in and is eliminated from the game. A player who loses all four rabbit figures is completely eliminated.

The game ends when a player has reached the target field with a rabbit.
