Pick Me Up! (2016)

About this game

Welcome to the crazy claw machine! Pick Me Up! is a fast recognition game with funny pickers and cute artwork. This game will lead you to a boisterous party! To play, shuffle all of the tiles, then place them at random in the twelve spaces of the plastic tray. Each player takes a "picker" that can pick up the tiles and make sounds. One player rolls the three dice, with the dice having three colors, 3 kinds of eyes, and 3 kinds of numbers. After seeing the dice, everybody races to find tiles that match all three symbols on the dice, picking them up as quickly as they can. If no matching tiles are in the tray, raise your picker and say "Beep-beep!"; whoever is slowest to do so loses one tile that they've collected. As soon as the grid has five empty spaces in it, the game ends and whoever has collected the most tiles wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• 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.
