Players will need to remember the five different sets of rules which vary depending on the mini game you decide to play (these are stated in the included rule book). The game Dobble itself is more based on observation skills rather than memory, but it really gets the brain juices flowing so we had to include it. Developing memory and concentration through play but in a fun way – hoppy players indeed. Cleverly created, this game interested both our five-year-old, 12-year-old and the adults too. If you decide to play the expert version – which we did on our second attempt – there’s an added difficulty, underneath the token there may be a mole or rat lurking, this means you get to steal or have to return one of your own tokens. The first bunny to collect all four is the winner. It’s then the rabbit’s job to move around the board, using the moveable leaf tiles, to collect their veggies – if they can remember where they’re buried. The board gets covered with the veggie tokens, and then covered again with the leaf tiles. Inside the box there are four different coloured rubber bunnies (the perfect size for small hands) with matching vegetable scorecards, 16 leaf tiles and 16 vegetable tokens.

And it took no convincing for our five-year-old tester to start emptying the box as soon as she spotted the bunnies on the front.

One of the latest inventions from the talented team is Grabbit, a multiplayer memory game. Smart Games have been creating educational toys for more than 25 years, and we’re big fans.
