Harry Hopper (2015)

About this game

In Harry Hopper, there is only one strategy: aim, bounce, hit! Two players or teams play against one another, using their plastic grasshopper with skill and good judgment to knock down their tall rectangular blades of grass. To make your grasshopper hop, simply press down on his tail, then watch him fly. Did you cut down the opponent's grass as well? Too bad — aim better next time! To win, you must not only knock down your own blades of grass, but also the king's precious red blade that stands amongst all the others. Just don't knock it down too soon or else it's your head...

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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
