Up And Down

About this board game

Up And Down is a mole-search game for 2–6 players that plays in about 20 minutes. In this playful challenge, cheeky moles hide in the grass, peek from their holes, and disappear again.

The moles move in pairs, digging hither and yon beneath the grass. To find the right ones, players must carefully observe the different mole colors and remember what they see. Attention and timing are key as the hidden moles repeatedly appear and vanish.

Players pull moles from their holes in an effort to complete tasks. Successfully choosing the right moles allows them to collect task cards, while the player who gathers the most shovels aims to come out on top.

• Search for cheeky moles hiding in the grass.
• Carefully note the colors of the moles.
• Pull the right moles from their holes.
• Collect task cards and compete for the most shovels.

Up And Down centers on a simple, engaging observation challenge: watch the moles as they peek out, keep track of their colors, and make the right choice when it is time to pull one from a hole. The changing visibility of the moles keeps the search lively from one moment to the next.

Released in 2005, this family-friendly game offers a quick contest for groups of 2–6 players. Its mole-search theme is thematically similar to The Mole in the Hole, making it a fitting choice for players who enjoy playful hidden-mole challenges and collecting task cards along the way.
