Kosmos Lagoonies - Game goal; Roll the die and spin the octopus; Search for the matching sea sprites

Each player chooses a color (red,
yellow, green, blue) and takes the
starfish of that color. Set unused
starfish aside. Place the box with the
game board in the center of the table
so that each player sits in front of the
corner matching his or her starfish color
and can see the viewing window in the
rocky reef.
For 2 players: Each player gets two
starfish. Player 1 plays with green and
blue. Player 2 plays with red and yellow.
Place the box with the game board
between you so that both players have
their player color in sight.
Game goal
The first player to catch nine sea sprites
wins!
For 2 players: The first player to catch
18 sea sprites wins (nine in each hiding
hole).
Let’s begin!
The youngest player starts. A round
goes like this:
1. Roll the die and spin the octopus
2. Search for the matching sea sprites
3. Place your starfish
4. Pick up the matching sea sprites
5. Pass the die
1. Roll the die and spin
the octopus
Roll the die. Spin the octopus
on the turntable in the direction of the
arrow. Spin the octopus as many times
as indicated by the roll of the die. So if
you roll a two, turn the turntable with
the octopus two times — passing one
sea sprite and stopping on the second
sea sprite that shows through the
viewing window.
Important: Count the sea sprites that
pass through into the viewing window.
2. Search for the matching sea
sprites!
Now look to see which sea sprite
appears in the viewing window, and call
out the name or type of the sea sprite
(see page 1): Margie (seahorse), Lisa
(jellyfish), Don (mustache), Luke (snail),
Bob (blowfish), or Al (eel). At the same
time look for the matching sea sprite
in the lagoon, but without lifting any
of the bubble lenses. You must look
through the bubble lenses to find the
matching sea sprites. With some luck,
you’ll find a lot of matching sea sprites
under one bubble lens.
IMPORTANT: Look from above or from
the side through the bubble lenses.
Change your viewing angle to see more
clearly. Be careful not to obstruct the
views of the other players.
