Children's Game

Gouda! Gouda!

You lead a gang of 5 mice in a race for cheese. To move your mice, you throw special dice with green, red, and yellow faces. A green face lets you move a mouse forward; a red face makes you move backward, and a yellow face does nothing. You even have special powers to help you out. Get one of your mice to the cheese first, and it's yours. Simple, right? Not quite! Your opponents are not sitting still - they can move their mice (and yours!) and use their special powers to slow you down.

Don't Wake Daddy

Children's game in which players move by drawing cards and moving to the matching space. If you land on a picture-number space then you have to risk waking Daddy. Daddy is in his bed, a spring-loaded molded plastic gizmo. If you did something that might cause him to stir, you have to press the snooze button on his alarm clock a specified number of times. Daddy might sleep through it... but he might sit up suddenly and send his nightcap flying. And send the kid who woke him up back to bed (the start).

Go Teddy Go!

From the Ravensburger Catalog:

The bears love to play hide and seek! Roll the colored die, move along the path, and hide your three bears first to win. A sliding panel reveals caves for the bears to disappear into as their laughter sounds from a hidden voice chip!

Involves color recognition, association, simple strategy.

Ages 4 and up.

Stomple

This is a strategic marble stomping game.
Outwit your opponents by stomping their marbles before they stomp yours!
Outmaneuver by leaving their "stomper" trapped with no escape. OUTSTOMP the competition and you win!
Each player has a "stomper" piece with a marble of a different color attached to the top. On a player's turn, he or she may stomp any marble (by putting it on top of it, knocking it underneath the board), not in the outside ring. On the following turn, the player can stomp any adjacent marbles of the same color, or stomp a marble matching the color of his/her "stomper" piece.

Guess Who?

The mystery face game where you flip over a collection of faces with different color hair, eye color, hair, hats, glasses etc. to deduce who the secret person is that your opponent has chosen. You flip over the hooked tiles as you narrow your choices by asking characteristic questions.
