A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood. A fox, an owl and a snake saw the mouse and the mouse looked good! Can you help your Mouse through the deep dark wood, avoiding the hungry Fox, Owl and Snake? If a player lands on one of their spaces, they must turn over a tree in search of the Gruffalo to scare the hungry predator away. So while the game is dice-driven, it rewards memory too. The Gruffalo Deep Dark Wood Board Game is very fast playing and with lovely illustrations from the book, it’s a good introduction to dice and turn-taking for younger children.
