About the game

A hedgehog-themed racing game for children. Players try to get their hedgehog token to the finish line, with the balloon (another wooden token) the hedgehog is carrying intact. Movement on the board is determined by number cards that allow the player to move their hedgehog the corresponding number of spaces. "Peng!" cards allow you to burst the balloon another player's hedgehog is carrying. If your balloon has burst, you either need to play a card that allows you to get a new balloon, or your hedgehog needs to return to one of the re-fill spaces on the board. The player whose hedgehog is first to reach the finish line with a balloon wins the game.
