Description

The rough translation of the title is "Digger Gangs"... and that's what each player represents... a gang of moles trying to find their way across the yard to their burrow without antagonizing the dog. (The pieces are top notch plastic-mold moles & a bright red dog.) Each turn you roll the dice, which tell you which mole hole you can next move to... and which size mole you must move. Now, you can move ANYONE's mole, since the only way to tell them apart is to pick them up and look at the bottom. (Something you get to do each time you move a piece...) Objective: get your three moles home first. (The dog is moved when rolled and can freeze a mole in position... but only one mole at a time.)

Intended as a family game, playable by children Ages 6 and up as well as adults.
