## Description
In Hoot Owl Hoot!, the players' mission is super important: help a group of little owls return to their nest before the sun rises and a new day begins. It's a cooperative game, so everyone plays together against time! To start the adventure, the sun token is placed on the first space of the sun track, three owls are positioned on the starting spaces of the owl track, and each player receives three cards. The deck contains fifty cards, 36 of which are colored (six of each of the six colors) and 14 sun cards. Players keep their cards face up in front of them, which is great for everyone to strategize the best movement as a team.

During their turn, if a player has a sun card, they must discard it and move the sun token one space. But if the player only has color cards, they discard one of them and can move any owl to the next open space of the color corresponding to the discarded card. And the most fun part? If an owl 'flies' over another owl already on a space of that color on its way to the next open space, all players let out a collective 'Hoot! Hoot!' Hoot Owl Hoot! (and its European counterpart, Flieg mit, kleine Eule!) comes with six owls, and if the group wants an extra challenge, simply add more owls to the track at the start of the game. It's guaranteed fun for the little ones and for anyone looking for a light and cute game!
