Stacking and Balancing

Things are getting wildly wobbly as the animals create a big stacking tower. Who will climb on whom? The die decides. But whether the animal stack stays standing or not is up to the players. They stack Animal upon Animal in three new games for young stackers. In the third game, they work cooperatively to race against the crab, training their dexterity skills with play. May the best stacker win!

Note: Not the same game as My Very First Games: Animal upon Animal. This game has new rules, new name, new art, new pieces.

In Bamboo Bash, you use a fake panda paw to strip bamboo bark from the center of the bamboo stems, trying not to dislodge the panda cub from the top of the stem or else it will eat all the bark you've dislodged.

Rhino Hero Junior is a superhero in training who aims high. In three different games, the children practice their fine motor skills, work on a basic understanding of numbers and quantities, and also train their memories. Floor by floor, the fun and learning curve just gets steeper and steeper, until the heroic rhino reaches the top and the children win together.

Players will work on their fine motor skills while stacking a sturdy cardboard tower in three mini games. They'll also be able to work on counting from 1 to 5, and working on the concept of bigger to smaller sizes. The rulebook includes suggestions on ways to help your little stackers better learn the rules and understand the key concepts taught and practiced in the game.

The fun mint-tin sized dexterity game gamers and non-gamers will love!

Tinderblox sets players in a campfire setting, where each player will attempt to grow the fire! But watch out! Place the blocks badly and you risk burning down the camp!

Each turn players will draw a card from the campfire deck. The card will instruct them to place on the campfire a log, a fire block or any combination of the two (or more) in various orientations. Players use tweezers to "Play with fire" in a shared pool, however, once all pieces have been put together and are off the ground the player must carefully place this on the campfire!

The player who is the most careful with fire wins!

As a tight-knit team in Menara, players use pillars and wondrously-shaped temple floors to build a spectacularly soaring structure full of nooks and crannies. Cooperation and static skills are in demand since for each mistake in construction, you have to add another floor to the temple.

A steady hand, an alert mind, and mutual assistance can help you successfully complete what seems to top out at dizzy heights...
