A Beautiful Place. An ecology game
for children! Planet Earth can be a beautiful place, shared by all. Sadly,
it has been harmed and made ugly in lots of ways. Players work together to

Granny's House. An adventure
game designed to encourage thought and imagination in young children. On our journey to Granny's we go
through Dark Woods, cross a Stream, need to be very careful passing a Sleepy
Bear, etc. We decide what to bring along. Maybe our Dog will help us; maybe
a basket of Food; perhaps some Sticks and a Rope. Players will have to use
these items to invent ways to deal with whatever Obstacle they meet.

Harley. Our farm dog, Harley, runs so fast that cars have to chase him.
He also has a great sense of humor and likes to hide, then later bring back,
our Favorite Things.
While
rocketing around the Fields and Woods, he often meets other creatures who
give him many thrilling times!
In
this game, we all help Harley find and bring back Home as many of the
Favorite Things as we can. But he will have to look out for fellow prowlers
such as the Bear, Raccoon, Skunk, Porcupine & some nasty Briar Patches. We
may have to call in the Vet!

Home Builders.
A real-life theme. We help to build as many homes
as we can. The homes are from different cultures, past and present, so we
learn a bit about other kinds of shelter.
Natural Disasters can
strike and wreck what we build. We have to be ready to take Safety Measures
at the right time. We also can use the Special Card that lets us Rebuild.
The game nurtures discussion, planning and memory skills.
Younger players start
with a few homes. The more homes you add, the more complex the game!

There's A Growly In The Garden.
Players help each other plant as big a Flower Garden as they can, and also
help the Growlies find what they need most, so they don't pick and trash the
Flowers instead. With some sharing of ideas and talking over of strategies,
we will help change Crabby, Messy, Greedy, Stinky and Snobby into happier
creatures. Sometimes we will need Scarecrows, as well as Special Items such
as Fruit Soap, Cornstalk Brooms, Gold Coins, Smiley Buttons and, best of
all, some delicious Humble Pie. Guess which Growly needs what item! On each
turn, a player gets two cards to play somewhere in the Garden. When and
where to plant a Flower? Or put a Scarecrow? Or leave a Pie? Decisions,
decisions. Each game unfolds differently, so keep on your mental tiptoes.
Lots of play value, for as many as six players.

Let's Go Sailing. 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!

Max. We must
help get the little Creatures safely home before Max, the Tomcat, catches
them. In an exciting way, children learn logic, consultation and decision
making. An important issue to discuss is also raised: we don't like Max
catching those Little Ones, yet we recognize that he is a natural hunter.
How do we resolve this in our minds and hearts? Let's talk it over.

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
