Where's my Cupcake? (2012)

About this game

A children's game involving collecting matching cupcakes for children aged 3-7. At the start of the game 10 cupcake cards are placed on the table. Gameplay is very simple and involves drawing a cupcake from a pile, and checking for a match with cupcakes on the table or at the top of anyone's cupcake pile. If it matches a cupcake on the table you may take the pair, if it matches the cake on the top of your pile you keep it, if it matches a cake on another players pile you must give it to them, otherwise it is added to the table. The games teaches matching, taking turns and encourages players to be polite.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
