You Little Stinker is a board game released in 2024 for 2–5 players, 5 minutes per game, and ages 4 and up. It was designed by Ken Gruhl and Quentin Weir and its main mechanics are Take That and Dice Rolling.
You Little Stinker is a simple picture-matching game designed specifically for young children. It features a dog-shaped dice shaker that makes it easy for little hands to shake and roll. To play, place the dice in the doggy shaker, give it a shake, and roll the dice. Match your dice with the picture cards. Bones are super lucky, but players must watch out for stinky mud puddles. A few lucky rolls and a few smart choices will win the game! —description from the publisher

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 You Little Stinker is 5 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists You Little Stinker for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
