Tales & Games: The Three Little Pigs

Players take the roles of little pigs trying to build houses by rolling special pink dice up to three times per turn to collect symbols they can exchange for doors, windows, and roofs in straw, wood, or brick. Dice results determine construction and scoring, with larger and more decorated houses yielding more points at game end. Rolling two wolf symbols triggers a huff-and-puff action that allows a player to knock down an opponent's house. Components and presentation echo a storybook style and the box includes an illustrated retelling of the fairy tale.

    Quick, cute kids game that builds on the Yatzi or King of tokyo mechanic of rolling dice and re-rolling dice to form sets. In this case you spend sets to build house parts. If you roll 2 wolves you get to have the wolf attack another player. Very quick but has a little too much take-that for my kids to really enjoy it without conflict.
