Pumuckl quartet game
Quartet game featuring the kobold Pumuckl, creation of the German author Ellis Kaut.
Pumuckl is a small, slightly chubby, red-haired kobold (or sprite) who loves annoying people and playing practical jokes. He causes chaos in the workshop of Master Eder, as shown in set 1. He is the creation of German author Ellis Kaut and is especially well known in Bavaria where he featured in a children’s TV show. Each set of four cards depicts a different episode from the adventures or mishaps of Pumuckl.
