Montreal, March 26, 2008 – Are your children bouncing off the walls? Are you out of ideas for games that engage their minds? Never fear, Bojeux has plenty of good ideas for you!
Pichenotte Junior: One box, two games!
Inspired by tradition, designed for children!
This spring, Bojeux is releasing Pichenotte Junior, a children’s version of one the great classic games, pichenotte. Gorgeously illustrated, this colorful game will brighten up your family moments. The goal of the game is to be the first team of Mice to hide all their cheese, without being caught by the cat! Children develop their manual dexterity and visual acuity, while learning to play as a team. Guaranteed fun for everyone!
The Mouse Game : Strategy and observation!
Under the floorboards is where the Mice hide their treasure.
The two teams of Mice must navigate the spiral-shaped tunnel to carry their cheese to their hiding place at the centre of the game. The team of Mice with the most cheese accumulated when the game is over wins the match. But be careful! There will be many obstacles along the way and you will have to take shortcuts to arrive at the central hiding spot as fast as possible. Above all, beware not to wake the cats, they might catch you! The game is over when all four Mice from the same team reach the square at the centre of the game.
