Children's Game

The Game that Pursues You! Stalking lions, Charging rhinos, Lunging, Snapping crocodiles, and more. In the wild world of Jumanji, they're only a dice roll away.

Choose your pawn and set out on a deadly journey. Decode rhyming card messages that could spell disaster! Roll 8-sided dice together to rescue a fellow player in danger! Fail to escape, and the jungle could swallow you whole! The only way out is to finish the game. Only then will the terrors of the jungle disappear...

The game is based on the movie with the same name.

The race is on! Can you beat the Ogre to the treasure? It's your job to make a path from START to the treasure and collect the three keys that will open the treasure's locks before the Ogre gets there. Strategize, cooperate, and build the path together.

Children as young as two can play this co-operative tile laying game. On their turn, the player draws one tile from the bag, and it will either show a piece of path or picture of the Ogre.

Working together the players need to first make a path to the three keys that open the treasure and then lay a path to the treasure itself. All the while, each Ogre tile gets him closer to the treasure, and the players losing.

Everyone works together on the tile placement and either they win together or lose together.

The game has simple rules and does not require reading, meaning that even kids as young as 2 can be involved.

This is a stand-alone follow-up game to Gastero Speed: Les Gros Bourgognes or Snail's Pace introducing six new tracks and some new cards. It is still the same snail racing game where you, by playing speed cards, compete to be the first across the finish line.
The boards are progressively more dangerous, and require some good thinking at the end of the series, although luck does have a major role in the game.
Still, it is a fast game with a lot of humor added. So it is excellent to play when you have only a short time for a game, and do not want to spend the evening explaining rules to people.

Gastero Speed: Les Gros Bourgognes

The monsters are loose again!

Well, that's actually not a bad thing because they make living in this mansion really fun! But right now Grandma Frieda is standing outside the front door and she is terribly frightened of monsters. You must catch them all and hide them from Grandma before she sees them!

In Monster Trap, players use the sliders to push the monster as quickly as possible to the middle of the mansion and into the monster trap! You will have to work together on teams to do this: one player controls the monster's lateral movements, the other the longitudinal movements. Whoever has pushed the most monsters into the trap by the end of the game is the best monster catcher — and wins the game.

This is a semi-cooperative game which puts the "thief" against the rest of the players, who take the role of detectives. As the thief, you secretly plot your movements around a private art museum. As you go, the detectives take turns trying to find you with their eyes, the video cameras, or motion detectors. You can deactivate the cameras, and you can even cut off the power to the entire museum to mask your movements. Another advantage is that the thief gets a turn after every detective's individual turn.

Another problem for the detectives is the fact that, once the thief has picked up a painting, she can take her next turn before removing the painting from the gameboard. The good guys know the vicinity, but won't know her exact location, as the thief is now up to 3 squares away from that spot. If a detective ever spots you with the naked eye, secret movement is over, and the thief's token is placed on the board for all to see. This can get frantic, since the thief can only move 1-3 spaces, while detectives roll a d6 for movement!

The thief player has to decide when to attempt a getaway. The catch is, some of the windows and doors are locked. There are actual lock pieces, and you must flip over the one you are attempting to open (instant detective frenzy!). If she has stolen 3 paintings (in a one-off game), and manages to get out, she wins. In a tournament style game, each player gets a turn at being the thief, so the number of paintings needed will vary based on the other players' scores.
