Zwerge

This is another charming key-chain game from Haba. An unusual feature of this range of games is that the name of the game that appears on the packaging (and only the back of the packaging) is different from the name of the game in the rulebook. So while this game might be labeled as Zwerge, the rules call it Schneewitten und die sieben Zwerge (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs).

Described as a cheeky die game for 2 dwarfs aged 4-99, the authors are Wolfgang Dirscherl (who has designed several games in this series) and Markus Nikisch. The illustrations are by Stefan Fischer.

You get 7 wooden dwarfs in 3 colours (divided 3-2-2), and a special die with spots of the 3 colours (the colour with 3 dwarfs is repeated), a side showing Snow White and a side showing the wicked witch. Players take turns rolling the die. If the die shows a coloured spot, the player takes a dwarf of that colour from the centre, or from the other player if there aren't any more of that colour in the centre. If the die shows Snow White, the player gets to take a dwarf of any colour from the centre or the other player. If the die shows the wicked witch, the player nominates a colour and both players return all dwarfs of that colour to the centre. The game ends when there are no more dwarfs in the centre and the player with the most dwarfs wins.
