Autumn Leaves- Autumn themed game idea.

Starting anywhere, players move a piece (shaped like a hedgehog, bear, badger, rabbit or some other woodland creature) clockwise round a circular board, rolling a dice to determine the number of moves they can make, and each time they land upon a leaf square they are allowed to reach into the Basket.
In the Basket there are red leaves, green leaves, yellow leaves, orange leaves, pink leaves and purple leaves (of various leaf shapes) and players have to collect one of each colour to win the game but because it’s a lucky dip they don’t know which colour leaf they’re going to pick out and each time they pick out a colour that they already have they have to drop it back in the basket.
However, some of the leaves have question marks on them and if they pick out one with a question mark on it that means they have to answer a general knowledge question in order to keep it. If they get it wrong then it goes to their opponent (or, if their opponent has the colour already, their opponent gets a free turn at dipping their hand into the basket instead).
And some of the leaves have lucky stars on them which means that, if a player picks them out of the basket, they win another turn.
But there are also black leaves and if they pick out one of them they have to put all their leaves back in the Basket and start again.
