"Once Upon a Time in a Dark Forest" - magic game with good ghosts for children and adults!

My Timofey is just under two and a half years old, and he is very picky about everything, especially about toys and books, so I was absolutely not sure whether he would like this game or not. But he was simply delighted, the whole evening we spent the whole evening on the floor, collecting stories this way and that. They barely put Timofey to bed, but in the morning, as soon as he woke up, he immediately demanded that they immediately give him “Ooooh” again, as he called them.

The game is something like a long horizontal puzzle of 20 cards. The cards are cardboard, very thick, with the cutest drawings on both sides. Each card depicts a scene, connecting them with each other, we get a story.

This is something like an interactive book that you can compose yourself and re-compose many, many times. You can play it alone or with family and friends.

I really liked the drawings, they are so cute and funny, and the colors are gentle and pleasant.

And I am also very pleased with unusual heroes - good ghosts! It's so difficult to find a developing interactive game for children, so that the heroes in it would not be banal bunnies, foxes, bunnies. No, Koloboks and Ryaba Hens, this is, of course, wonderful, but only for initial stage, we all start with them, but then our imagination and fantasy always begin to demand more.

Advantages:

Bright beautiful pictures, double-sided cards, a strong storage box, unusual heroes of the story - kind and sweet ghosts.

Once upon a time in a dark forest. Game for the whole family

This is not the first game in our house to develop imagination.
Last year we received a book that asked us to come up with a fairy tale on our own. I found it quite exciting; I have loved inventing different stories since childhood. And it was surprising to me that my daughter found the task difficult. It seems that we often read fairy tales, and they contain more than enough magic and various miracles, and fairies come to visit us, and the New Year's Gnome comes in winter, and the book lover - the gnome Gosha has been friends with Nastya for the second year now, but as it happens, Despite all the fairy tale surrounding the child, it turned out to be difficult for her to give free rein to her imagination. Now we have several sets of games with cards, with their help Nastya composes stories based on pictures. Previously, it was more like a statement of facts, but now the stories are more complex, somewhere she thinks up something, and is slowly learning to fantasize.

The quality of this game is simply excellent. The cards are not just on thick cardboard, but on very thick cardboard, the game can be passed on by inheritance, time is not scary for it with such quality. The packaging is also done well, a tight, convenient box.

The rules of the game are written on the lid of the box, but you can play according to your own rules. You can make either a boy or a girl the main character, or you can alternate. The cards are double-sided, so events can develop differently each time.

Summer is coming, vacations, the sea, dachas, this game is convenient to take with you, it’s interesting and useful to play!
