Who it's for

Families where kids want a real shot at beating the adults, thanks to steadier and smaller hands.

Not for you if…

Shaky hands or low patience for delicate physical challenges will make every single turn stressful for you.

About this game

Gulo Gulo casts you as a wolverine family on a mission to rescue Gulo Junior from a nest of swamp vultures, and the only way forward is a bowlful of wooden eggs balanced against a wobbly alarm pole. Draw the color your tile demands and pluck that egg free with two fingers, no shaking the pole, no knocking loose eggs, no cheating with a second hand. Fail and you scuttle backward in shame, succeed and you creep closer to the rescue. Small hands genuinely have the advantage here, which makes it one of the rare games kids consistently beat their parents at.
