Gnomes at Night is a uniquely designed maze game where players need to work as a team to maneuver magnetic Gnomes around a maze. Parents and children really got into the experience of playing a cooperative game, meaning all the players play together on the same team against the game and not each other. Players will either win or lose together as a group. Gnomes at Night is fantastic at teaching and celebrating team building skills. The game itself is full of action and quick thinking because it is a race against time experience, this really ramps up the fun and excitement. Gnomes is more than a traditional flat board game because its set up upright and is used with fun magnets with which you navigate a maze. The story of the Queen’s treasures being stolen and the thief who stole them will get your child excited about finding the lost loot. There are 4 game boards that range from easy to hard. The object of the game is to collect all the treasure. You want to move your gnome directly to the treasure but, there are WALLS in the maze that block you. When this happens, you must instruct your partner on the other side of the wall how you want them to move their piece. You really have to COMMUNICATE clearly to do this. Parents told us that everyone started off yelling, initially in frustration and then in uncontrollable laughter! This is a fantastic family game that can be played in just 15 minutes.
