Preparation
Fold the game board up and remove all items from the box.
Now fold the board back down and insert the cherry tree into
the slot. Hang the pairs of cherries from
the tree and put the raven on the
starting square where you see his
foot prints.
Shuffle the cards and spread
them out in front of the box
with the flower side facing
up. They should not lie
on top of each other.
Get the color die ready.
Sit in such a way that
you can all clearly see
the flower cards and
the raven.
How to play
The player who is the best at cawing like a raven may start.
If you cannot agree then the youngest player starts by rolling
the dice.
What appears on the dice?
• The red, yellow, blue, white or violet flower?
Look for a card with a flower of the corresponding color
and turn it over.
• The sun?
Take any flower card and turn it over.
What appears on the backside of the card?
• A Cherry?
Fine! You can pick a pair of cherries from the tree and put
it into the basket. Also take the turned over card and keep
it face up in front of you.
• The cheeky raven?
Oh, dear! The little raven hops a littler closer to the tree.
Cover the card again. Take the raven and move it on a
square, shouting “Caw, caw“.
• A sleeping animal?
Hush. Be quiet not to wake up the animal.
Cover the card up again.
It’s the turn of the next player, in a clockwise direction, to roll
the dice.

End of the game
The game ends as soon as ...
• the raven has reached the square next to the tree, pinching all
the cherries. In this case the players have lost together.
• the players have picked the last cherry from the tree thus win-
ning the game together. Now they can have a big cherry party
together with Bertha Peartree.
Cherry harvesting variation
If you want, after finishing the game you can count the cards to
see who has collected the most. This player is named the most
hard-working cherry picker.
Raven variation
The cheeky raven has already snuck ahead one square at the begin-
ning of the game. Now it becomes even more difficult to harvest
the cherries in time. If you are brave enough, you can also move
the raven two or three squares at the start of the game!
