Transparent, colored tiles in the three primary colors red, blue and yellow result in the corresponding mixed colors by overlaying. A board, a bag and a color dice complete the materials. The child naturally discovers basic concepts of color theory, the larger ones make exciting games out of them and the adults have to be very careful when they want to win their tricky game. Include rules for 5 different games.

This is mine!: 2-6 children throw with a color dice and have to put the tile on the board. Mixed colors are formed by stacking. Is the color the right color, the player get a point.

Tile away! 2-6 children first draw a tile, then the dice is thrown. If the tile can not be laid, it will be in your own stock. Next time you can use the new tile or a tile from your own stock.

Who takes, wins! 2-6 children put all the tiles in the board. The game starts with 1 red,1 yellow, 1 blue, 2 green, 2 purple and 2 orange fields. Throw the dice and take the tile(s), if it is on the board or put the tile(s) on the board, if it is missed. The game ends, if all tiles are from the board.

Criss-cross! 2-4 players draw tiles out the bag (2 tiles with 2 players, 3 tiles with 3 players etc.). All other tiles are seed on the board. Every turn you plays one tile and remove one tile or vice versa. You win the game, if you have one row with the same mixed color.

Blue against red! 2 players use only 6 red and 6 blue tiles. It starts on the first and last row of the board. You win the game, if you complete the purple row in the middle. You can only draw your own color, but with purple you always take the top part. It does not matter if this part is red or blue.
