Here’s a Bright Idea Game kids will really gopher! 39 food cards feature a gopher holding apples, carrots, or nuts, ranging from 1 – 3. Each player is stockpiling for the wintertime, and the goal is to collect exactly six of one of the foods. The cards are mixed up and placed faced down in a mess at the center of the table. Each player will pick a card from the center, and then decide if they should keep picking cards. The more cards they pick, the more likely they’ll find the ones they need. But, if they pick two of the same kind of food in a row, they’ll lose all their cards! Players must be risky, but not greedy, in this card game of collecting and counting. When players collect exactly six of one food, they receive a Gopher Trophy card! Whoever wins 3 Gopher Trophy cards first, wins the game. Game comes with 50 playing cards and game instructions. 10-minute playing time. Game design by Reinhard Staupe. For 2 – 4 Players, Ages 5 and Up.

On each card are Traffic Officers, which are randomly arranged in a circle. Players see the Officers from either the front or rear and must then follow 3 directions, going to the left or right. But which way is which? This is determined by noticing the direction that the Officer is facing. Everyone must quickly find out, which card the directions point to after the 3 movements. The player with the most correct is the winner!
