About this deal
One of the many reasons we love cooperative games is that they provide us with the opportunity to work together and give advice and teach our kids about strategy along the way. Sometimes you will be able to move easily toward the treasure, sometimes you will need to back track. The game works great with just 2 players, but there’s also a built-in way to play with partners on both sides.
ASTRA's Best Toys for Kids award program reflects the collective expertise of hundreds of toy retailers who know toys inside out. Board “A” is a great introduction, and the right difficulty level to play with kids who have trouble with puzzles. Find the location of the treasure (each treasure appears only on one side of the board) and start talking to the other player(s).If you both try to move at the same time, they may become detached, which will require you to place the movers back on a corner during play. But you can have different combinations of players, different boards and different sides, which change the game each time.
To start the next round, shuffle the treasure cards and the corner start cards and place them in a pile face down. My first experience with a cooperative board game was a couple of decades ago before we ever had kids.
This earth friendly game is printed with soy-based inks on paper and includes parts made from corn based plastic and sustainable wood. I love cooperative games for my kids because no one gets to float at the end that they are the winner and the other is a leader.
Dad Suggests was created to share with others the many different things that we have loved sharing with our own children.
Players cooperate to help the gnomes reach as many treasures as possible before the sand timer runs out. The instructions were not very clear so that was a challenge to start the game but once we figured it out it was fairly simple.
