Mini Conquers Monsters

I just got my arse kicked by Mini playing "Go Away Monster!" Great game for 3-5 yr olds

Reach into the bag to find the puzzle pieces that match the pictures on your bedroom game board. If a monster pops out, don't be scared...just tell that silly old thing to go away. Then get rid of him for good by tossing him into the monster pit and out of your room. You take charge, and the monsters take off!

The game teaches young children shape recognition, cooperation, competence and boosts self-esteem, and is designed to be played with parents and friends. The game also lets young children experience some of the apprehension and excitement in deciding what is real and what is imaginary.

  • Ages 3 and up
  • 1 to 4 players
  • Playing time: about 15 minutes
  • No reading required
