Silly Street (2016)

About this game

In its simplest form, Silly Street appears to be a super adorable board game for kids age 4+. First, select a little game piece and place it at the start. Then, one at a time starting with the youngest player and continuing around the circle, draw a card and do what the card says. Hilarity ensues. After you have dried your tears of hysteria and given your cheeks a rest, move the appropriate amount of spaces as indicated by the card. BUT! Stay alert. The cards are the key to everything. Some of them award you points based on an action. Some are contests, where the winner moves. SOME even allow you to grant points to another player. They are EXTREMELY silly and will keep everyone on their toes. Work your way down Silly Street. Whoever lands on the last spot first leads the group in an epic dance party and wins!

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