Nelly
A group of turtles climbs onto a hippopotamus living in a small African lake, while a heron shares her back and crabs hide beneath water plants. Players place their wooden turtles on the hippo’s rounded back, feed her with water plants, or move the heron. If she eats a plant hiding a crab, she is pinched and dives, causing some turtles to fall off and restart. The first player to place all of their turtles wins.
