There is an actual Schlafmütze ("sleeping hat", meaning someone who is a bit slow and clumsy) included in this game. In the beginning, a random player has to wear it. Each player has four pawns and moves them over the 13x13 game board. This is done by rolling two dice of which one can choose one for the movement. When both dice show a red dot, the player currently wearing the hat loses his or her current pawn. When he or she manages to move the current pawn next to another player's pawn, however, the hat is passed on. The players can also move bushes to protect themselves from the Schlafmütze. The game ends when one player has no more pawns, whoever has most pawns then is the winner.
