Zoch Kleiner Drache Wirbelwind

Storm is on the way! Rain goblins want to land on Cloud 7 to spread gloomy weather vibes. However, four cheerful sun wizards are also making their way across the cloud bridge. The little dragon Whirlwind helps the fair-weather messengers reach Cloud 7 before the arrival of the grumpy rainmakers.

This cooperative game for children aged 4 and up is played in a sturdy, high-quality wooden frame. A walkway leads high above, weaving between the clouds. At the end of the path, Cloud 7 awaits the arrival of the sun and rain figures that will determine today’s weather. The shared goal of the children is to gather all four sun wizards on Cloud 7 before the arrival of three goblins brings about a dreary rainy day.

The main character of the game is the little dragon Whirlwind, who swings high above the rainbow. Connected by a string with a ball, he can sweep pendulum-like "gusts of wind" over the rainbow. With each turn, players create "fresh wind" that aims to hit the numerically superior rain goblins while sparing the sun wizards. If the players succeed in allowing all the good weather wizards to cross the rainbow unharmed before too many goblins reach Cloud 7, the game is won for everyone.

This charming and action-packed game idea, which brings sunny vibes not only to children, comes from the Spanish inventor duo Josep M. Allué and Dani Gómez. The sensitive illustrations by Teelke Limbeck accompany the weather makers on their journey in enchanting colors, both in and above the clouds.
