Alley Cat Games Tinderblox (Day) Dexterity Stacking Game - Excellent Travel Game

Product Information

And Catstronauts captures the same feel by asking players to race to slam their meeples in the right sequence on shared planets; but be careful - you have to make sure you're placing your numbered cat meeples on the right planets!" To add complication, some cards also feature the Switch Hands icon in the top corner. If a player draws one of these cards, they must add their items to the campfire using their non-dominant hand. No rules are included for those that consider themselves ambidextrous, you’ll have to figure that out for yourselves!

Fast turnaround - As you would expect with us, we will have a fast turnaround to get the games to you ASAP. In this case, we expect the games to arrive in October - November time as the files are already finished and submitted to the manufacturer. We’ve even got the first pre-production samples headed our way this month. Ah, the great outdoors – sleeping in a tent, fresh air, building a slightly precarious fire, alerting the local fire brigade and forestry commission – all wholesome things to enjoy. If instead, you’re in a caravan with the rain lashing against the window, there’s this tiny tinned emulation by Alley Cat to keep you toasty. My copy of Tinderblox was a prototype so I cannot say anything about the quality of production components, but I loved the game components that I received. The wooden logs and cubes were cute and fun to handle although their small size will naturally mean they are likely to get lost! The (almost final) box art is really distinctive and charming, and I love the small tin for storage which makes the game stand out on my game-filled shelves. Introducing the MARSHMALLOW expansion! A mini expansion that now includes marshmallow pieces that cannot touch fire pieces! Featuring 4 marshmallow pieces and 4 brand new cards.This is the easiest version to play, so if you're looking for something to play as a family, Tinderblox Day is for you. Don't let the size fool you. This game is an experience! Compact size suits social gatherings and traveling. No dings on the box since it's a tin. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or newbie in the board game world, Tinderblox offers memorable moments.

The remaining log pieces and fire cubs are left in the tin and mixed up, the tin is placed beside the campfire along with the tweezers. Sorry, for now we are not offering deliveries outside the UK as the delivery charges are astronomical. If there's something you can't find elsewhere, we may be able to do a custom quote for you.

Tinderblox Night is a limited edition of Tinderblox, that is only available directly from Alley Cat Games. Kittin was hugely popular and successful. Particularly with it’s placement in Barnes and Noble. To that end Simon and I decided to try and create a sequel worthy of the title, but captured the essence and fun of Kittin without the rules overhead.

You know how we’ve been told to never play with fire? Well there is an exception when you get playing Tinderblox. The cards in Tinderblox Night are harder to complete that the base game, making this a great version for those wanting a bigger challenge! I liked the decision to include two sides on the starting campfire card to effectively create an easy mode and a more difficult mode without the need for additional materials. The cards are very small which is great for storage but might make the symbols difficult to read for some players, however, as there is no text to read, hopefully, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

When will my order arrive?

Tinderblox is a dexterity campfire-themed game appealing to both avid gamers and newcomers. It comes in a mint-sized tin box for easy transport and setup. Had my regular Cthulhu Wars crew over today. We usually try to start with something else (we've been playing a fair amount of Tiny Epic Crimes lately) and when talking about a couple other games, I... Tinderblox stands out due to simple mechanics. Draw a campfire card to strategically place logs, embers, or both using tweezers. This tactile addition adds skill and excitement. Tinderblox Night is a mini-tin dexterity game where players are taking it in turns in a campfire building competition. Be careful though, the bigger the campfire gets, the less stable it becomes. Can you handle the heat or will you be the one to cause the campfire to collapse?! Finally, in the prototype I received there is very minimal plastic, and I hope to see this continued across to the production version of the game.
