Gather food with your hedgehogs and put each one to bed before the snow catches it.

A hedgehog family is eating outside before winter, and every card you draw brings the snow closer. Send a hedgehog to sleep too early and it stops helping you gather, too late and it gets caught by the first snowfall.

One clear decision each turn: sleep or keep gatheringWinter cards make the risk rise visiblyTen minutes, playable from age four

Who it's for

Preschoolers taking their first steps into risk and reward, and grown-ups who want that lesson wrapped in hedgehogs.

Not for you if…

You are shopping for older kids or adults: the decision never gets more complex, and a run of early winter cards ends things before anyone builds a plan. Hard to source outside German-speaking retail.

Vibe's take

A tiny nerve game for small children: the tension is real but the turns are so short that nobody has time to worry.
