Description
Six games – each on a cardboard coaster. The game is on one side, the rules on the other. To play each game, all you need is one coaster for the whole group plus pen & paper. You don’t write on the coasters, so the games can be played again and again.
Letter Market – a word game for 2+ players.
Sleuth Box – a deduction game for 2 players.
Alien Farm – an action-selection game for 2-4 players.
Ice Cream Truck – a risk-management game for 2+ players.
Treasure Split – a cooperative game for 2 players.
Free the Frog – a party game for 2+ players.
From Dark Imp, the games are small enough to fit in your pocket and come in a little travel case.

What our experts think
This compact selection of games are fast-paced and varied, making them ideal for travel or post-dinner family time. The games offer a fun way to encourage numeracy, communication and observation skills.
For example, in the Ice Cream Truck game, children are encouraged to use mental maths in a practical way to run their ice cream business! We like that children can improve over time as they develop their strategic thinking skills. The QR code makes video instructions easy to access and with a little adult direction, the children got the hang of the games quickly.
