Gnomes at Night

A really fun game for kids AND adults. As a parent of young children, I try to avoid buying games that I wouldn't also enjoy playing, this qualifies as fun for adults too. Requires logic and good communication. My 5.5 year old daughter is probably at the lower end of appropriate age for it, bc she doesn't quite have some of the logic skills required. We have not advanced beyond the "easiest" playing level but still fun! There are 4 difficulty levels and even a way to play with up to 4 players (team mode). I suspect she'll still enjoy it for at least a few more years and even more as she grows some of the logic skills necessary. I also really love that it is a cooperative game (we have a collective goal) so there's no winner or loser. My daughter is not a gracious loser (or winner), so it's more fun for me to play together when we are just trying to achieve a shared goal rather than competing.

Purchased on a whim due to high ratings, this has become one of my daughter and I's favorite boardgames. The 'team' style rules weren't great, my review represents the 2 player style only. Not only is this quick and exciting enough to pop out any time we have 20 minutes to kill, it has strong emphasis on non-luck based mechanics. As we got faster and faster at completing the more challenging levels, we developed a higher detailed, more succinct communication. We navigated a maze using logic, predictions, guesswork, trust and patience while staying calm and focused as the timer burns down. Excellent game!

This is a good communication and cooperation game. All the parts are very sturdy and ment to be played and played and played with. The two magnetic characters are cute (the magnets are strong and don't fall off the board when playing. Skill is progressively more difficult, the last card is challenging.

My nieces were obsessed with this game immediately. Because we played six times in a row, the game did get a lot easier by the sixth round. I suggested that because we were starting to do so well collecting all items, we might have to challenge ourselves for a faster time! I thought this would be great for the 8 y/o because it requires no reading, but the 10 y/o was even more interested I think than the younger child was. Great way to encourage good communication, as the gnome falls if someone moves the piece while the other person is holding it still. The girls learned to slow down and communicate more deliberately in order to find items with more speed. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Great lesson to learn!

This is the favorite game in our house!! We only wish it had more levels. Such a fun concept and a lovely cooperative game. The whole family loves it!

My son received this for Christmas and it's just so great. I love the cooperative game idea--you can't win without the other person. Wonderful way to reinforce teamwork and working together.

This game is lots of fun. My 6 and 8 year old grandkids found it to be both interesting and lots of fun to play. They spent a long time engrossed in the action and worked well with each other to capture each treasure.

Fun game to foster collaboration, especially among younger siblings who tend to be competitive

The boys (6 and 8) played together, supporting each other, and told me they had lots of fun.

My son is 6 and he is better at this than my wife and I! It took him a couple of goes to get the idea, but after that, he's better at providing the instructions than we are. It is a fun game with some novel problem solving/communication gameplay. The game is to guide the Gnomes, who are connected by their magnet bases, along the vertical maze board to collect the treasures. The maze is different on both sides, so a doorway might appear on one side, but not the other so you need to work together to direct each other to move the Gnomes though the maze. There is a timer element to add pressure and 4 boards of increasing complexity.

captivant, jeu d entraide, chaque carton recto verso comportent 8 alternatives de parcours. Total 4 cartons tres robustes. On doit trouver les trésors en parcourant le labyrinth. J ai du en commander un 2e car le petit fils qui a adorer ce jeu, est reparti avec pour jouer avec ses amis. cela vaut vraiment le cout.

Great for children as they have to work together to win. Our two children love playing it.

Bought this for my 4 year olds birthday and my boys love it. Such a good family game that promotes team work and good communication. It’s a quick game to play as well so it’s perfect if you want to squeeze in a game with your kids before bedtime or to kill a little bit of time. Highly recommend!
