So some kind fairy gave me the bones of the4 Alice game, and I have read them several times. I am attracting Alice critters, but when one says "right/left card too high/low" what does that mean and what should I do? I keep reading the instructions, but nothing is gelling. Please help if you can and are so. inclined!!!

Same here, finding this frustrating

Each set of Alice wildlife has three main characters, and the aim is to find the correct card for each.  For the Caucus Race (the first set) those characters are The Dodo, The Lory, and The Mouse.  The clues given by the Helpers are to help you find the correct cards for those characters.

Each character is attracted by one card, in the correct position.  The Dodo comes when you have the correct card to the left, the Lory to the middle card, and The Mouse to the rightmost card.

The Helpers are giving you clues to each.  You can see in the Wildlife Guide which animal comes if the card is too low, or two high, for each position.   For example, Cynthia, you have attracted Tweedledee, and it's telling you that the rightmost card (a 7) is too high to attract The Mouse.  So you need to try a lower card in that position.  When you had the card in the middle, the Bread and Butterfly told you that the card was to low to attract the Lory.  So for that position you need to try a higher card.

Keep notes as you get new clues, to narrow down what the card you need might be.

If you've tried all three of the cards in each position, and none of them are correct, you'll need to try different ones.  You can change each card up or down one number (apart from the Ace, which can only change to 2, and the King which can only change to Queen) to try those cards, but otherwise you'd need to get new ones planted.

The three cards are all independent of each other, so you don't need to find all three correct ones at the same time.

When you have the correct card and attract one of the main characters, the card you need for that position changes, and you start again working out the new correct card to attract it again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Just shout if you need more help or if it still doesn't make sense; someone will always be around who can help you make sense of it all :)

So if the card is correct...what happens?

BTW: Thank you Tracey!! You are so kind!!! :)

If the card is correct you get the corresponding wildlife you want (The Mouse, The Lory, The Dodo etc)
It changes with each level and food

If a card is correct and you then get the character needed, wait for a clue as you should always keep that same card in that position because yes it resets but it can often be the same card needed for that same character...so say you get a Dodo turned  up  on a 6, keep the card there until you get a clue to say that either the 6 is now too high or low OR the 6 may very well be correct again and when i was doing them, at one stage the same card was correct 3 times in a row. I learnt very quickly not to be hasty with moving cards and also definitely not to change any cards up or down unless absolutely necessary because you only get that once chance to do so and you can come to regret it. Then if the correct card now becomes too high or low, the previous cards that were "no good" in that position, now come in to play if that makes sense, so again, don't be too quick to just dump cards.   

PS. I wish we could edit...:)
