This game involves rolling a six-sided die with images on each side. The images include:
a sad face (lose an animal part)
a happy face (take ANY animal part)
Legs (take a leg piece)
Torsos (take a torso piece)
Tails (take a tail piece)
Heads (take a head piece)
The object of the game is to be the first player to build a "wacky" animal consisting of 1 torso, 1 head, 1 tail and 4 legs. The combinations are colorful and amusing.
Box says ages 4+. But this game plays easily with children 2 1/2 and up.
From the manual and box:
"Ever see a ZEBRA-PHANT? Or an ELE-RAFFE? What a laugh! Roll the die, mix and match body parts, and suddenly things get wacky. Imagination and strategy rule.
In a fast-moving game of chance, children learn color and animal recognition as they roll the die and attempt to "build" a critter."
