Tales & Games: Little Red Riding Hood is a board game released in 2015 for 1–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Annick Lobet and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Push Your Luck, and Cooperative Game.
Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood, is the fifth entry in Purple Brain Creations' "Tales & Games" series. In one game mode, the players co-operate to try to reach Grandma's house before the wolf can spot them; in the second game mode, one player takes on the role of the wolf. During the first game mode, the players will help Little Red Riding Hood reach Grandma’s cottage before the wolf gets there. In this mode, the wolf is managed by the game. To start, the youngest player flips over the first card of the Path card deck. Count the number of flowers on the card. Place as many face-down Gathering tokens on it as there are flowers. This will be the first card for Gathering. Then, this player takes the first turn of the game as explained below. In the second game mode, a player plays the wolf. Unlike the first game mode, the Wolf chooses the Path cards, instead of players drawing them randomly from the deck. The other players play as the characters helping Little Red Riding Hood reach Grandma’s cottage before the Wolf arrives.
Tales & Games: Little Red Riding Hood supports 1–5 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 Tales & Games: Little Red Riding Hood is 20 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 Tales & Games: Little Red Riding Hood for ages 7 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.
Tales & Games: Little Red Riding Hood has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
