A fun and stimulating game for the whole family, to practice attention skills, train speed reflexes and stimulate the memory. In the ZAC family hut, somewhere in the Far West, no one ever stands still!  The animals, and even the plants, change position from one moment to the next.  Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are hidden. Don’t be fooled, the landscape and the house are always the same but all around goats, horses, tools, and buckets move! Where did they leave the wheelbarrow? And where did the bison go?
You need to have hawk eyes and cat-like reflexes to be able to spot all the elements every time and beat your opponents: at the end of the game who will be the fastest draw in the West?

The game features landscape cards, scoreboard tokens and 36 cards.  Each player must get as many tokens as possible to win the game. But, you only have 30 seconds to look at your landscape card and locate the 12 elements on it!

Shout ZAC
During the game you have to ZAC! When you see at least one of the elements on the card that is also present on your card, shout “ZAC!” as quickly as possible and win the game!




ZAC!

Who has the fastest draw in the West?


Sharpen your eyes, get ready to pay attention, and challenge your friends and family to find the objects belonging to the ZAC family!

In the ZAC family farm, somewhere in the Far West, no one ever stands still.  The animals, and even the plants, change position from one moment to the next. Where is the wheelbarrow located? And where did the bison go? Can you find all the items? Only those who have the eyes of a hawk and the reflexes of a cat will be able to become the fastest draw in the West!

The game is designed for 2-6 players, from 4 years of age and up. Each game lasts about 20-30 minutes.

MATERIALS

18 landscape cards divided into 3 sets: 6 yellow cards, 6 green card, 6 orange cards

100 point tokens

36 cards

GAME OBJECTIVE

Each player must get as many tokens as possible to win the game. The tokens are obtained by grabbing the cards in the centre of the table but you have to be very careful! The landscape cards are all different from each other!  For each set, some elements are in a fixed position (the house, the shed, the river, etc ...) but only 12 of the 36 elements present in the game appear on each card.

HOW TO PLAY

Each player must carefully observe his/her landscape card and identify the 12 elements it contains. Then the game begins and the youngest player places the top card from his/her own pile in the centre of the table. Everyone tries to understand, as quickly as possible, if at least one of the elements on that card is also on their own landscape card. The first player that covers it with his/her hand and says "ZAC!" wins the card. If more than one player tries to take the card, the first one who touches it wins. Whoever manages to grab the most cards wins the game.
