The game is based on the Russian folk tale Little Hut (Teremok).
The teremok is located on the edge of the forest. It is neither tall nor short… And you have to decide who lives in it. Well-known fairy-tale animals will visit the teremok. Invite as many characters as you can to your teremok, but make sure there is enough space for everyone - otherwise, the teremok might collapse!
Терем-теремок ("Terem-Teremok") is a fun children's game where players take character cards from a shared stack and place them in their teremok-board. On the one hand, leaving a lot of empty space in the teremok makes it less likely for you to win, but on the other hand, if you get greedy and don't plan well, the house might collapse. "Terem-Teremok" teaches players how to plan ahead and be patient, as well as how to use their spatial thinking and design skills.
Depending on the number of players, the game can last 3 or 4 rounds.
In each round, players will place fairy-tale characters in their board. On their turn, they will open a character card, choose the appropriate piece, and place it in their board. They can then choose to open another card or end their turn. The fewer empty cells remain in a board, the more victory points (raspberries) a player will receive. However, if a character cannot be placed in the board due to a lack of space, the house will collapse and the player will not receive any raspberries.
In subsequent rounds, teremoks will grow and more characters will visit the house. The player who accumulates the most raspberries at the end of the game will be the winner.
