Piranha Pedro (2004)

About this game

Poor Pedro! He's stuck on a sand bank in the middle of the Amazon. Each step is dangerous, since there are hungry piranhas waiting everywhere. To keep Pedro from getting his feet wet, the players lay stones out in front of him. But beware he who runs out of stones. He is taking the risk that Pedro falls into the water. Then there's a big "Splash!" and the other players laugh themselves silly. A humorous comic-book-style rules inset makes learning the game easy.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
