Cooperative Games / Skunk!! Review



Cooperative Games / Skunk!! Feature

  • Players work together to grow a beautiful organic garden
  • Creative Child Magazine Seal of Excellence Award Winner
  • For 1 to 6 players
  • For ages 4 through 7 years
  • Made in Canada using recycled boards and papers, soy-based inks, water based glues and safe paints
We are working hard to grow beautiful, fresh, organic vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. But sometimes garden pests eat those good things before we do. Can we keep the garden safe by catching all 6 Pests and taking them to the Forest where they belong? (The skunk and other pests in this game are real, from our garden. It was quite a puzzle figuring out how to let the skunk loose when we caught it without getting sprayed. Other skunks may enjoy their perfume, but we sure don't.)

Includes: 12 x 12" board, 2 dice, 7 pest movers, 1 havahart® trap, 1 electric fence chart, rules. © 2009

Play as friends, not as enemies! Our games foster the spirit of co-operation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, bring in the harvest, complete a space exploration... They are never against each other.
