Grandfather is a children's game in which we have to get the highest number of points trying to complete the skeleton of our character. Created to learn the human skeleton on the one hand, its reversible board in the form of 4 puzzle pieces allows learning the parts of the body on the other. We continue singing and dancing with our Grandfather and the song.

In El Abuelo, it follows the rules for placing the tiles as in the basic game My Bag of Bones, but with some peculiarities. We tell you.

That contribute? -For the player who plays with THE GRANDFATHER Desert Tiles allow you to steal any tile from another player's bag but with your eyes closed. You can take 2 from the stack. They do not have to be consecutive. It's up to you. Take a good look at what the other players are discarding in their bag on the board Grandpa introduces changes for the other players. Specifically, when they extract a tile from the grandfather and another from a foreign character. They go to their respective characters, without losing turn.

With the Color Bags variant, we will steal a tile belonging to the player's bag of that color. In setup, they are exchanged for four desert tiles.

In the Multicolor Sachets variant, we substitute three desert tiles. Grandpa must be present. We choose two players to steal a tile from each one's bag. We can combine the two variants by substituting seven desert tiles.

The multicolored puff removes a puff from the board of a player of our choice. The character ones are only used when the grandfather is in the game.

Every time we have to place a breath and we don't have it, we take our character's. Only Grandpa has one for himself.

The winner will be the one with the most points. Grandpa adds one point for every two puffs in his pool.
