5ive Paws

Five animals, five abilities, one small board: storm the enemy den – live against friends, against strangers at your level or against the computer.

Five animals, five abilities, one small board. The frog jumps, the elephant pushes, the fox swaps places – and whoever storms the enemy den and holds it wins. A match takes five to ten minutes.

SMALL BOARD, BIG PLANS Quick to explain, yet every match plays out differently – because every team is different and you never quite know what you are up against.

• Hidden animals: Your opponent's animals are just question marks – until they act or get attacked. Do you strike, or is that their wolf? • Who beats whom? The wolf hunts the fox, the fox the mouse – and the mouse is the only one the elephant is afraid of. Tap an animal and the board instantly shows its prey, its enemies and everything it can do right now. • Four action points: Every turn has four points, and one animal may act twice. But an animal that has already moved can no longer attack – combos instead of steamrolling. • Storm the den: Whoever enters the enemy den has to survive a whole turn there. • Counter line-up: Whoever starts gets the first move. In return, the other player sets up only after seeing the opponent's line-up.

ELEVEN ANIMALS, ELEVEN ABILITIES Frog, turtle, fox, elephant, mouse, wolf, eagle, hedgehog, beaver, chameleon and skunk – before every match you pick five of them. Hunters, defenders or tricksters: build your team the way you want to play.

LIVE OR TAKE YOUR TIME • Live duel: at the same time, 60 seconds per move • Ghost duel: everyone moves whenever they have time • Against friends via player code, against strangers at your level or against the computer – even without internet

LEVEL 1 TO 99 Points from duels and matches against the computer take you from level 1 to 99 – and the computer always plays at your level.
