What’s it about?

 

Go on a discovery tour on Planet Gnumie.

Start the quest for Gnumie knobble points and join Gnumie, Jani Gnumie, Grampa Gnumieson, and Deejay on their journey of discovery across the gnumiest planet in the entire universe: Planet Gnumie!

Swapping three or five knobble points.

The game will start as soon as the eight trees of the Groovy Grovers have gone to sleep. Discover and collect gnumie creatures and swap them for gnumie points. Watch for the knobble points that each creature has, as you will only get gnumie points by swapping three or five knobble points.

Meet gnumie Creatures.

You will be traveling through the forest, across meadows, and in the breggles’ party valley, and you will also pass the Gawky Sea that is home to many a gnumie sea creature. You will run into talking rocks, imaginative trees, ticklish plants, mysterious mushrooms, insect-size tinies, odd birds, and many strange and funny creatures. Whom did you meet where? The colors will show you, and in case there is more than one, you decide. Only an indiffy doesn’t care at all where he is.

Receive extra gnumie points.

If you run into friends, cuddly pets, or giant donnasaurs, you will receive gnumie points.

You’ve been struck by an atom-sized particle?

Every now and then, you will be struck by one of the nine atom-sized particles, and then you will either be in luck, start to doubt, or lose whatever you’ve had in your head.

The Huh doesn’t understand the rules.

The huh is kind and loving, the best pet you can imagine – but unfortunately, it doesn’t understand the rules of the game. It grabs a card and takes off with it. Will you manage to catch the huh and recover your card?

End of Game: Whoever collects the most gnumie points, wins the game.

If you happen to wake up the Groovy Grovers’ trees, the game might be over very quickly. When all eight trees are
awake, the game is over. If you have collected more gnumie points than any other player at this time, you will be the gnumiest player of all and win the game.

FAQ

Can children under 8 also play the game?
Yes. The contents and themes of the game are also suitable for younger children. The rules of the game are brief and easy to understand. It helps if a child knows numbers and can count to five.
Is it possible to reduce playing time?
Yes, this is achieved easily by cutting the number of Creature Cards. Instead of using all 175 Creature Cards, the game can also be played with half the cards.
Is there a fixed sequence of actions during one’s turn?
In principle, there is a fixed sequence, but the sequence may be modified individually before the game, i.e. either all players adhere to the same fixed sequence, or each player can perform each action in any sequence they like while it’s their turn.
Philosophy Particle Card: How do I swap a card?
Talking to each other is permitted. Each player decides which card they would like to swap.
