Napoleon Dynamite: It's Pretty Much My Favorite Animal Game (2005)

About this game

"It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed ... bred for its skills in magic." If you drew a liger, would someone be able to guess that you combined a lion and a tiger to create it? On your turn take two cards - each with a different animal name - and draw a combination animal - fast. If you get your teammates to guess what two animals you used, you move ahead on the game board. Heck, yes. Land on Uncle Rico - IDIOT! - and you've got to show your next animal throwing a football. Land on Kip - Geez, I think you ripped my mole off! - and you have to combine THREE animals next time you draw. The first player to get to the finish space wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 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 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
