Th is year I am sharing 24 mini games over advent, where the rules can be explained on the back of a single business card. Today's game is called "Marshmallow Snowmen". Today is a another marshmallow based family focused game. Day 21 "Marshmallow Snowmen"  Players:  2-12 players Equipment:  Dice & a big bag of marshmallows Concise rules:  1 player rolls a dice to set the target number. Then, simultaneously,  all players attempt to build the  rolled number of marshmallow  snowmen by stacking 3  marshmallows on top of each  other. First player to build the  correct number of  snowmen wins. Notes: Again we have a short little family focused game. Designed to be played and enjoyed by families especially with little hands. Of course this kind of marshmallow based sculpture can be extended with adding cocktail sticks, sweets and anything else you can find.

Th is year I am sharing 24 mini games over advent, where the rules can be explained on the back of a single business card. Today's game is called "D6 countdown" and it great for playing with children.  I love little games, that take moments to explain and can be played in 2-15 minutes.

I know in theory competitors have more freedom over what letters they choose and the balance between vowels and consonants especially. But 90% of the time the letters chosen are very formulaic. So, turning it into a t...

Th is year I am sharing 24 mini games over advent, where the rules can be explained on the back of a single business card. Today's game is called "Marshmallow mountain" and it great for playing with children.  I love little games, that take moments to explain and can be played in 2-15 minutes. So, I set myself a challenge to collect and create as many  business card games  as possible. Day 8 "Marshmallow mountain"  Players:  2-12 players Equipment:  Small plate & a big bag of marshmallows Concise rules:  Take turns placing a marshmallow on the plate, slowly building a mountainous pile. If a player causes any marshmallows to fall off the plate they are out. Continue until you have a winner. Notes: You want a small plate for this or it takes too long. A saucer is brilliant. If you want to make it harder you can even flip the saucer over or use the bottom of a mug. This game is in the great tradition of Jenga, buckaroo and so many other dexterity game...
