There are six elements in the center of the table - 2 caps, 2 bodies and 2 pair of feet. The eight cards are placed in a pile on one side, face down. The nine chips are placed another side: they form the reserve. The first player to win three rounds wins. Cards are shuffled and dealt out one to three players, who do not watch them. Players turn them face-up together and try to find which element of elf must catch to win the race. Two cases may arise: - If the three elves have one thing in common is that element that must be caught. - If no element is common to all three elfs appear, then there are three common each in two elves. Two of these elements are present on the same two cards. Then this is the third element that must be caught.
