Hide the Kids!

Five seconds to hide your goats, then the wolf lifts two pieces of furniture and finds out.

One player is the wolf and shuts their eyes while everyone else has five seconds to stash their little goats inside seven pieces of dollhouse furniture. Then the wolf opens two hiding spots and eats whatever is inside. Goats that stayed hidden score, and the wolf role passes on.

Who it's for

Mixed tables with small children, where adults can play along without pretending to have fun. Big groups make it better, not worse.

Not for you if…

You want a game with decisions you can think about, or your table dislikes noise and grabbing. Two players drains most of the chaos out of it.

Vibe's take

Loud, fast and giggly, with a burst of shrieking every single round. Turns last seconds, not minutes.
