A first introduction to calculations for very young children. The centerpiece of the game is a plastic octopus with two arms stretched out. Around it, fishes of various values (and weights) are placed. The active player picks a large bundle of fish and hangs it on one of the arms, then tries to find several individual fishes for the other arm. If...
As with all Family Pastimes games, players work cooperatively. In this roll and move game, the players' joint goal is to move the six members of a goat family over a bridge and along a path safely into a barn before being caught by a troll. The troll catches the goats to eat or to keep as pets, so when a goat might be captured by the troll, players try to...
まやかし山 (Mayakashi Yama) (Mt. Mayakashi) is a Japanese card game. Foxes and racoons try to outwit each other on the mountain. The start player is the last to have seen a fox or a racoon. The game is a mix of bluff, hand management, and some take that, until one player is eliminated. The game comes with English and Japanese rules, and both on the cards. The...
Ten different animals from the planet "Kuhpiter" have landed on Earth – but the muddleheaded cow Mucca Pazza has pushed the wrong button on the teleporter, mixing up the heads, bodies and legs of all the animals and creating strange species like the Frodrankey and Hocadog. The players – in the role of recombinant DNA specialists perhaps – now need to shift...
Mücke mit Tücke features cards with animals, the sound that they make (in German), a value, and sometimes a mosquito. Players take turns revealing cards from their deck in front of them. If a number or a value matches a card already visible, the two (or more) players who match have to speak the "other" before their opponent. If a Donkey-3 is revealed, and...
The board depicts a garden pond. The players control frogs and try to move them towards the mosquitoes. Movement is determined by playing a hand card which moves a frog towards one of the four "shores". Some cards introduce new mosquitoes, others enable a player to redraw a certain number of cards. The first player to catch a certain number of mosquitoes...
A game with first class illustrations. It is a set collecting game, like a Quartet but with a difference. You are collecting the four quarters of an animal. A full set will be numbered 1 to 4 but in the early stages you may well collect the wrong animal part because you did not recognise it correctly. It also has child appeal because the box illustrates...
無限合体ロボット (Mugen Gattai Robot) is a Japanese card game of combining robot parts. In the year 204X, Japan is under threat from outside forces. The government responds by building a series of defence robots to protect the people. But Japan is too small to store the robots intact, so they must be kept in pieces and re-combined as needed. The players work to...
