Gnomes at Night (2016)

About this game

Mino & Tauri are aliens who have crashed on Earth and need to recover twelve items from the cornfield for their spaceship so that they can head home. Time to lend them a hand! The game is set up with one of four magnetic game boards being placed vertically between the two active players. (With more than two players, you play in turns based on colored team cards.) The Mino and Tauri characters are placed on opposite sides of the game board, and players take turns leading them through the cornfield, trying not to step out of bounds along the way. Can you collect all twelve items before the sandtimer runs out?

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.
