The four games each focus on a different part of the Gruffalo story, take just seconds to master and last around ten minutes, with a different challenge for players aged 4+ every time!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018His eyes are orange\u2026\u2019 is a card collecting game, the aim is to be the first player to collect five Mouse tokens. Players win a Mouse token every time they complete a set of Owl, Snake or Fox cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Oh help! Oh no!\u2019 is a dexterity game where the winner is the first to hide all their Mouse tokens in the right place on the deep, dark wood board. Players pick cards that show where their Mouse should be hidden and throw their Mouse token to land in that spot on the board. If they hit it, the Mouse can stay but if they miss, they take their token back and try again.<\/p>\n<p>In \u2018The deep, dark wood\u2019 game, players compete to match their cards to those on the table showing pictures of either the Gruffalo, Mouse or woodland, then place them next to each other to create a long winding path. If they don\u2019t have a matching card, players pick a new card from the deck in the middle. The winner is the first to get rid of all their cards!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What\u2019s a gruffalo?\u2019 is a memory game where players complete their image of a Gruffalo first to win. Each player is given a board and ten Gruffalo tiles in their chosen colour. The tiles are placed colour side up while each player takes it in turns to select a card featuring a Gruffalo body part. Players then reveal one of their tiles to see if it matches the card and place it on their board. The first player to add all their tiles to the board is the winner!<\/p>\n<p>The games are for ages 4+ and suitable for 2-4 players. Available from the 22 November in Waterstones, John Lewis, Hamleys and Amazon.
