Description
These heads and tails game cards split a bright parade of animals down the middle, so every head can meet its own tail or a very unlikely new one. The set holds 24 double-sided paperboard cards. On the front of each sits the head or the tail of an animal drawn in flat, cheerful colour: an orange striped cat, a lion with a sunny mane, a blue elephant, a puffin, a peacock, a zebra, a fox, a frog, a monkey, a raccoon, a whale and a pink rabbit. Turn a card over and its back carries a number or a pattern of dots instead.
That gives the game more than one way to play. Children can join each animal back together by its picture, match the numbers to the dot patterns, or simply mix the halves and invent silly creatures of their own, a frog with a peacock's fan or a monkey with zebra legs. It suits a kitchen table, a playroom floor or a quiet corner on a rainy afternoon, and because the cards are small and flat the game packs easily into a bag for visits and journeys. Grown-ups tend to join in too, and the pictures give plenty to talk about as you play.
Each card is 10.6cm long, 6.9cm wide and 0.2cm thick, a comfortable size for small hands to pick up, turn over and lay side by side, and the whole game weighs 0.24KG. The cards are paperboard, so keep them dry and wipe them with a soft dry cloth when they need it. They come in a box printed with the same animals, which keeps every card together between games. We think it makes a cheerful present, ready to play the moment the lid comes off, and easy to wrap.
