About the game
From the box: 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, 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 & a Rope. Players will have to use these items to invent how they would deal with whatever Obstacle they meet.
