The Grape Escape (1992)

About this game

Players form clay grapes with an included mold to use as their playing pieces. They then travel around the board which is mostly covered by a hand cranked mechanism that will stomp, roll, cut, or cause other forms of grape torture according to what space you land on. If you get squished, you have to remold your grape and start over. Re-implemented by: Play-Doh Smashed Potatoes Game

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
