Mudpuppy Mix-the-Mutts!
(Mudpuppy $14.99)
Dog lovers will have fun playing this silly mix up game that also develops visual discrimination and matching skills. Be forewarned, there are a lot of rules to learn to begin, but play it once or twice and kids will get it. There are big tile cards and players get points by matching a head and tail to make a match, and then the active player and others can play their cards to match the newly created dogs. The object is to have the most matches AND the most points. At the end of each round, school ages kids need to add up the points on the corner of their cards. So, it’s possible that a player can have more cards but not the most points. With younger kids, the game is played without adding points, just counting the number of cards players hold. Kids will have fun making up names with mixed up heads and tails. 6 and up
