Hi Ho! Cherry-O is a kids put and take board game currently published by Hasbro in which two to four players spinner in the effort to collect cherries. The original edition, designed by Hermann Wernhard and first published in 1960 by Whitman Publishers, has players competing to collect 10 cherries. During the update in 2007, the rules were updated to include a cooperative game variant, in which players work together to remove all pieces from the board before the birds puzzle is over.

In 2015, Winning Moves publishes a classic edition.

Rules

Each player starts the game with an empty basket and 10 cherries on the tree. The player alternates the spinner and performs the demonstrated action. Spinner is divided into seven parts:

1. Take one cherry from the tree
2. Take two cherries from the tree
3. Take three cherries from the tree
4. Take four cherries from the tree
5. Dog: Replace cherry in the tree: two if the player has at least a lot in his basket, one if he has only one (no effect if the player basket is empty)
6. Bird: Same with dog
7. Spilled basket: Replace all cherries in the tree

The first player to collect all the cherries from his tree and call "Hi Ho! Cherry-O" won the game.
