About the game
What you do in a play session
How about teaching the alphabet in a super fun way? 'Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter: Lär om bokstäver' (yes, that long name is the original Swedish title!) is a game that turns learning letters into an adventure for little ones. It comes with a bunch of different mini-games, all focused on getting kids familiar with the letters of the alphabet in a playful and engaging way.
The game starts with each player choosing a board and mixing all the tiles. Depending on the number rolled on the die, you pick one to three tiles from the table and try to find the matching one on your board. The first to complete their board wins! The game is clever because it has varied difficulty levels. It starts with very simple letters and shapes for the youngest ones and gradually increases the challenge, eventually using the complete alphabet, keeping the kids interested for longer. It's perfect for parents who want an educational tool that doesn't feel like homework, and for children who love memory and matching games. With quick games lasting about 15 minutes, you can play multiple rounds in the same day without getting tired.
