Description

As players gather clues they carefully sort through and eliminate potential suspects, eventually piecing together enough data to build a rough sketch of the thief as to make an educated guess. Interestingly, the game is actually designed around cooperative play, with players working together towards a common goal (identifying the thief before they can escape) rather than working against one another. Board games are a tried and true way of teaching interpersonal skills and keeping kids entertained without TVs, computers, or tablets. Not every family is a fan of the endless arguments and fights that can result from deeply competitive board games, and Outfoxed’s emphasis on cooperation, communication and teamwork can be a welcome alternative. Who Is It Not Ideal For? Older children looking for a serious and challenging board games

While the creators of the game state that it can be played by kids 5+, we feel that it is really best suited for those 7 and up due to some elements that, in our opinion, can make it a bit challenging for the very young.The game combines traditional board game mechanics with whodunit detective work, having players roll dice, gather clues and, eventually, expose a nefarious pie thief. What Ages Is Outfoxed Intended For? In addition to the detective pieces, the game also comes with a red “thief” statue in the shape of a rather dapper-looking fox. If it's red, that means that you have found a clue, as the thief is wearing that particular item. If it is green, that means that the thief is not wearing it.

Count up the footprint icons on the dice and then move your detective pawn up to that number of spaces on the board. You may The game can end in one of three ways: move horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. They then roll the three included dice up to three times and need to get three matching icons to successfully attain their goal.At the same time, it is important to note that there really isn’t a hard upper limit to the game, in our opinion. As players gather evidence, piece things together and eliminate suspects, they will be using their critical and deductive skills, which makes Outfoxed an interesting option for those looking to hone their children’s logical thinking. Young children who get bored by typical board games Designed and published by the team at Gamewright Games, Outfoxed! is a clever, colourful, introduction to co-operative games. Combining simple to understand dice rolls with the gentle trial and error deductive puzzle of matching the right clues to the right foxes. Once you get good at the base game, step up the challenge by moving the fox pawn 4 spaces instead of 3. And for experts, move it 5 spaces! On a more serious note, depending on the age of your children, longevity may be an issue with Outfoxed! Being so squarely aimed at the younger age groups it will have a limited lifespan as the kids grow up.

If your child is interested in fantasy, but not quite ready for the magical world of Dungeons and Dragons, opt for this easier-to-learn cooperative board game. Players work together to tell stories, battle monsters, and journey through the world of Neverwinter. Similar to the original game, players customize their heroes, introducing young ones to the creative and social aspects of the game.This piece represents the ultimate goal of the game, i.e. the thief that players must unmask, and is intended to “move” across the board to escape justice as the game goes on, which is kind of a fun mechanic. Dice In Outfoxed!, a 2-4 player co-operative whodunit game, players are searching for clues and revealing suspects in the mystery of who stole Mrs Plumpert's prized pot pie. No less than 16 suspicious looking foxes were seen in the vicinity of the crime and it’s up to us to find the guilty party before he, or she, escapes down the foxhole.

Also made out of hard plastic, the thief statue is cute and rather whimsically designed, coming complete with a top-hat and bushy tail. If you really wanted, it is possible to, if not break the game completely, then at least hasten the play time of, Outfoxed! The game board has multiple locations that need to be searched for clues. Movement between these locations is determined by the number of paws shown in the dice roll. So far, so good. You will be working as a team, players will need to choose between searching for clues and revealing suspects. They then need to roll three custom dice to see if they are successful. If after three tries the dice all match the decision you made your investigation progresses. While not an educational board game per se, Outfoxed does offer a variety of educational benefits for young children.At the same time, players lay out all 16 suspect cards around the board, and take a “thief” card and insert it (without looking at its face) into the plastic evidence scanner. In Outfoxed!, a 2-4 player co-operative whodunit game, players are searching for clues and revealing suspects in the mystery of who stole Mrs Plumpert’s prized pot pie. No less than 16 suspicious looking foxes were seen in the vicinity of the crime and it’s up to us to find the guilty party before he, or she, escapes down the foxhole.

All of these components are good quality and visually this is a very appealing game.
