Who it's for

Families with children from around five, especially where a competitive game would end in tears. Adults have no real advantage.

Not for you if…

You want strategy or lasting variety, since every turn is the same search. Setup means reburying eighty-five leaves, and the game is out of print and awkward to find.

Vibe's take

Fidgety and cheerful, everyone leaning over the board coaching whoever is searching. The sand timer keeps every turn under a minute.

About this game

Imps are hiding under eighty-five cardboard leaves on the forest floor, and four sleeping giants stand guard at the corners. You sweep the leaves aside with a magic wand against a sand timer, quietly enough not to wake anyone, and you are all searching together.
