Coconuts is a dexterity game based on the “Monkey King” character from Chinese mythology.
In the game, players launch coconuts toward a field of cups in the middle of the playing area. Land in a cup, and you get to stack it on your player board; land in a cup on someone else’s board, and you get to move it to yours. By playing special “Monkey King Magic” cards, you can force opponents to shoot blind, take long shots, or otherwise bollix their efforts to cup a coconut. Whoever first completes a pyramid of six cups on his payer board wins!
Start your trip across Europe with Ticket to Ride: First Journey (Europe)! Ticket to Ride: First Journey takes the gameplay of the Ticket to Ride series and scales it for a younger audience. During the game, players will collect train cards, claim routes on the map of Europe, and try to connect the cities shown on their tickets. The first player to complete six tickets wins! With the same gameplay as the first Ticket to Ride: First Journey game, but now featuring a map of Europe, this game is perfect for any young conductors.
During the slippery snail race in Mrs. Meyer’s vegetable garden, Sebastian Schneck, Gloria Glibber, and friends move forward at a snail’s pace, but that doesn’t prevent them from creeping over each other or slipping past one another. Lucky dice rolls and skillful moves will get your snails to the winner’s podium to receive the most points and win!
Fabulantica is a fairy-tale memory game with a catchy travel mechanism. The players have to plan exactly how they use their travel cards to get to the places where they suspect the sought-after fairy-tale characters will be.
Concept Kids Animals is a cooperative version of the game Concept, adapted for children who don’t yet know how to read.
In turn, the children attempt to make the others guess an animal by playing pawns on the illustrated icons on the game board. Through this, the child indicates a feature of the animal to be guessed. Draw 12 cards and attempt to find as many animals as possible in order to get the most points together!
Taco! Cat! Goat! Cheese! Pizza! is as unique as its name. It’s a power-packed quick and simple punk party game.
This is a high octane rowdy cousin to Slap Jack and Irish Snap, and it’s filled to the brim with hand slapping mayhem!
Each player places a card from their hand (like snap and dobble) face up in a community pile while saying taco/cat/goat/cheese/pizza in player sequence – when the card matches the mantra – boom – everyone slaps their hand on the deck – the last one picks up the cards – the winner is the player to lose all their cards first.
Monsieur Carrousel is a cooperative game. Work together to help all of the kids get on the carousel before the rain starts to fall!
On your turn, roll the die. Choose a kid token that is not yet on the carousel and place it on an empty seat that matches the colour rolled on the die. Make sure to remember the seat type of the kids!
Rhino Hero is back on the job — and this time not only does the wobbly skyscraper need to be climbed, but there will also be fierce battles between the four super-heroes Rhino Hero, Giraffe Boy, Big E. and Batguin. Who will win the battles and not let themselves be bothered by the mean, hanging spider monkeys? Rhino Hero: Super Battle is a turbulent 3D stacking game.
