Toot and Otto (2004)

About this game

From the manufacturer: "A fun strategy game for older players who like tic-tac-toe and checkers... One player is TOOT and the other player is OTTO. Each takes six O's and six T's. The first player who spells his or her name - up, down, sideways, or on the diagonal - wins! "A fill & find game for younger players. Simply drop all the T's and O's in the tower and when it's full, search for how many TOOT's and OTTO's you can discover!"

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• 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.
