... claw, listen, earn points

Listen up, Hearmees builders! We need to expand our city! The supervisor whips out his clawky-talky and claw-it…and off we go. Behind his screen, the boss claws pictures. All other players listen closely and guess what object is meant to be built. Was it a hammer or was it actually a broom? Whenever a Hearmeeshas heard the right object, he has the chance to add one new building to his neighborhood. Who has a great imagination and the best ears and will finish his neighborhood first?

An unique listening & "drawing" game with two game variations.

How to play:

Phase 1: Clawing – Listening – Placing
The supervisor takes the top task card and places it behind his screen so that only he can see it. The Hearmees focus their entire attention onto their venture cards! When everyone is ready, the supervisor takes the claw-it and copies the picture on the task card onto the clawky-talky.

Phase 2: Expanding Harquart City
Everyone wants to be the first to complete expanding his neighborhood. To do this, you need to win one house tile from each of the 5 distinct kinds of buildings. Each building type has a different color. Be alert! The house tiles also have various point values.
