A gentle game about helping each other to build Sand Castles by the Beach. It's a quiet, beautiful day with water lapping at the shore. But a wind begins to stir and some large Waves move slowly toward our Castles. Can we finish all three of them before those big Waves wash in? Let's gather some sand, share our pails and shovels, and work hard together. This way, we have a much better chance of finishing. But, oh, oh... The Waves are getting closer and closer. Should we make a big Sand Wall to protect the castle? Or take a chance and keep building the castle up? Decisions, decisions. All in all, an exciting game of strategy that gets us thinking. Includes: 6 x 24" board, pails, shovels, sand castles, waves, snad walls, die, chart. Our customers say: "We just received your Sand Castles game, and my five year old daughter and I enjoyed beating the Waves. Thanks for a great game!" — Mill Valley, CA

Let's Go Sailing
| |
Yard Sale
|
You are a sailing crew taking your Sailboat from Home Dock to the Island Port. When you get safely there, celebrate a great day of sailing by breaking out rations of milk and cookies. Then it's hoist anchor and set sail for home again. Sailing is a challenge, demanding the best effort from everyone on the crew. Everyone's contribution is valued. Each of us has a supply of Action Cards that we share with each other. We use them to advance the boat, negotiate Strong Currents and High Winds, while trying to avoid Rocks and Reefs. In each game, the location of the Reefs is different. We must keep a Seadog's eye out for potential Breakdowns that could ground us. Save the Coast Guard cards in case we need to be rescued. Or else we could end up being adrift at sea! Includes: 12 x 12" board, rocks and reefs, die, ship stand, rules for regular and hard games, set of cards (sailboat, movers, strong currents, high winds, coast guards, distress signals, repair kits). Our customers say: "This game can be played by young and old, and it offers plenty of challenge and real opportunities for co-operative play. We love it!"

We all go to a Yard Sale, looking for bargains. We help each other fill the family Minivan with as much stuff as we can find, and not let the Truck take away any unclaimed items to the Dump. Each player turns up two cards from around the Yard, looking for two that match to make up a complete item. Maybe a table top in one place and its legs somewhere else. A wagon here and some wheels over there. Maybe we invent how two parts could work together! Some funny matches could happen. Unmatched items can fill the Truck quickly if we don't help each other find as much stuff as we can! What will we manage to save from getting thrown away? Includes: 12 x 12" board, assortment of 26 yard sale items, 10 trash cans, minivan, dump truck, rules for basic and hard games. Our customers say: "Memory and imagination are required in this fun game that keeps you in suspense down to the last trash can. Fun for the whole family!"
