About the game

What you do in a play session

Gather 'round for Little Red Riding Hood, the fifth adventure in Purple Brain Creations' "Tales & Games" series! This game is a fresh take on the classic tale, offering two distinct ways to play for everyone's enjoyment. In the cooperative mode, all players team up to help Little Red Riding Hood reach Grandma's house before the big bad Wolf can catch her. You'll be flipping path cards, counting flowers, and collecting tokens – all to outsmart the beast controlled by the game itself. It's a race against time and the Wolf's cunning!

Alternatively, if the group is up for an extra challenge, one player can step into the role of the Wolf! This is where things get exciting: the Wolf chooses the path cards, while the other players work together to guide Little Red Riding Hood away from danger. It's a game of bluffing and tension, where every decision matters to avoid falling into the Wolf's trap. With straightforward rules and a universally recognized theme, it's perfect for family game nights or introducing new players to the hobby. Get ready to experience this fairy tale in a brand new, interactive way!
