Little Association is a board game released in 2012 for 2–4 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 2 and up. Its main mechanics are Memory, Storytelling, and Cooperative Game.
The box contains three plastic animals, a rabbit, a frog and a cow. Three large "theme" tiles, the vegetable garden (linked to the rabbit), the pond (frog) and the meadow (cow). Each large tile depicts a scene containing a combination of 10 animals, vegetables, tools... For example the scarecrow is on the vegetable garden tile and the dragonfly in the pond tile. There are also 30 smaller tiles each depicting one of the things present on the larger theme tiles. The smaller tiles are placed head down in the center of the table. The top one is returned and the children need to identify which theme the card belongs to. The winner is the first child to place the corresponding animal on the correct theme tile. He gains the small card and the next one is then revealed. If the player gets it wrong, he puts a previously gained card back under the pack in the middle of the table. The game winner is the first to gain 5 cards or the one with most cards once all the cards in the center have been used.
Little Association supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Little Association is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Little Association for ages 2 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Little Association has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Little Association belongs to these categories: Animals, Children's Game, and Deduction. Its main mechanics are Memory, Storytelling, and Cooperative Game.

The catalogue lists Little Association as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
