Peaceable Kingdom - The Great CHEESE Chase
Who is going to end up with the giant block of cheese, the mice or the cat? In The Great Cheese Chase Game from Peaceable Kingdom, players must work together to move the mice to the attic before the cat gets there! Featuring a whimsical and colorful game board with a winding path that weaves through a house, players take turns moving either the mice or the cat game pieces space by space. If the spinner lands on a 1 or a 2, the player gets to move any mouse 1 or 2 spaces, but if the spinner lands on a cat, then the cat moves forward one space. If the cat lands on a mouse that mouse has to return to start all over again! Get all 3 mice to the cheese prize in the attic before the cat gets there and everyone wins! This is mousy teamwork at its cheesiest! Fun for 2-6 players.

Takes turns spinning! If Tiger lands on a mouse, that mouse goes back to the start! Land on the catnip and tuck it aside to use later to move Tiger back one space. Get all three mice to the attic before Tiger gets there and you all win!

What is a cooperative game?
A cooperative game is a game where all players play together against a common obstacle, not against each other. In a cooperative game no one feels left out and everyone has fun! Peaceable Kingdom’s cooperative board games use familiar game mechanisms – spinning a spinner, matching cards, moving a token, strategizing a win! The difference is that players play together. Playing together helps kids in many ways – they experience shared decision-making, they build self-esteem, they learn to share, to feel compassion, and to work as a team. Playing cooperative games teaches kids to cooperate.
