Pete The Cat has
become a phenomenon in the book world- so it only makes sense that a board game
under the same title would be just as awesome!
Pete The Cat the Groovy Button Game is an amazing game aimed towards the
little kids, and has no reading required!
The game includes
40 buttons, 4 button jar boards, Game Board with a spinner! 4 Pete the Cat
pieces that move about the board, and the instructions! The game play is simple, each player gets a
Pete the Cat figure to move around the board, one Jar, and two buttons. The youngest goes first, as the eldest child
I always hated this rule, but whatever this isn’t about me. Each player spins, move their Pete character
the amount of numbers the spinner has landed on and lands on one of several
colored spaces that are all over the board.
The Green button has a number on it, the player who lands on it picks up
the amount of buttons stated from the pile and puts them on their jar! The Red space has the player remove the
number or buttons stated on that space.
The blue button lets the player trade their jar with any other player on
the board! Then there is the elusive Path to Pete’s Shirt choice. The player may take a trip over to Pete and
if they land on Pete they get to take all of the buttons that are sitting on Pete’s
Shirt! Poor Pete how will he ever get his shirt closed! When all the buttons have been taken from the
button pile the game is over and the player with the largest amount of buttons
wins!
What a great way
to introduce your child to the world of board games. The board, and all the
pieces are designed just like the illustrations of the book. The game play is
easy enough to grasp, yet challenging enough for the little ones to stay
interested. They get to use their counting skills, interact with a character
they love, and learn how to not only win- but lose as well! Something that
every child no matter how young needs to learn!
There is nothing lacking
in the quality of the game- which will stand up to the test of time. The pieces
are sturdy and big enough for little ones’ grips, and even survive several cat
attacks. Cats are notorious haters of
board games, even ones that have one of their own on them. A great gift for any
fan and a great introduction to the gaming world. I see no better way to spend
a great game night with my kids then Pete the Cat’s Groovy Buttons Game!
