About the game
Quelf Jr. is a game of totally silly nonsensical fun for kids and families! As you race through the FlapDoodle factory, you’ll use your creativity and imagination to answer crazy questions and do silly stunts. Along the way you might run into to a cranky old man named Mr. SourFace! He’ll try to slow you down. But, if you land on a Ms. Goody Gumdrops space, you’ll get help to move ahead. The first person to make it through the FlapDoodle factory wins, but everyone has fun along the way! Card example: "Take off your shoes and socks and pretend that your big toes are named Gus and Earl. Make them talk to each other about potato chips." Reimplements Quelf for the younger crowd
