Peaceable Kingdom Press is simple: make good, do good, be good. They maintain a personal integrity in all of their relationships, remaining dedicated to producing original high-quality products that are manufactured in socially-responsible facilities, using recycled and FSC certified paper in 100% of cards and envelopes, they support local community by volunteering in the schools and our larger world by donating to charitable organizations that support the lives of children, and have fun while they work!

My Review:

I was super excited to have another opportunity to review for Peaceable Kingdom Press! My children were excited to play their new cooperative board game – Lost Puppies.

How to Play:

The object of the game is to find and bring home all of the lost puppies before night falls. Be careful, the road is blocked and night is falling! To start the game, mix all the cards and place them face down on the spaces and homes on the board. Players take turns turning over cards one at a time to find the puppies and open a path home. If a night card (card with a star on it) is turned up, place it on the space on the board with the corresponding number. If a flashlight light or take-a-peek card is turned up, take it off the board to be used at a later time. Flashlight cards remove night cards and open the path! Take-a-peek cards allow players to peek under a night card. Strategy is key to this game, but a little bit of luck never hurts! Includes 3 instruction versions for a variety of play levels.

Details:

•Ages 5+

•2-6 players

•Plays in 20 minutes

•No reading required

As a homeschool mom I really like this game. It gets my 2 boys working together to bring all the dogs home. Typically when we play board games they get quite competitive and at times one will cry because they lost. My husband and I are working on getting them to understand that it’s just a game and it’s ok to not always win but when we play Lost Puppies we have a nice peaceful and fun time playing the game.
