Asmodee | Dobble Kids | Card Game | Ages 4+ | 2-5 Players | 10 Minutes Playing Time

Product Information

Between any two cards, there is always exactly one matching symbol, whether it's a mouse, a snake or the hungry Gruffalo. Spot it first to win! His first big mistake is to delay gratification. He’s more curious to see whether the mouse really is, as it claims, “the scariest creature in this wood”, than in turning him into fast fingerfood. Opening himself up to the rodent’s ruse gives the Gruffalo likeability. Just as we might have wanted to tell the mouse not to tempt the evil eye by summoning the Gruffalo, now we might wish to tell the Gruffalo not to be taken in by the mouse.

Dobble: Gruffalo – Giddy Goat Toys Dobble: Gruffalo – Giddy Goat Toys

Dobble has its very own Gruffalo variant! This popular matching game from Asmodee meets the phenomenon of Julia Donaldson’s best-selling children’s book. Can you match the likes of the Gruffalo, the mouse, the snake and co in the Dobble: Gruffalo? Just as he is anatomically constructed by the mouse from disparate elements, like some hellish wishlist for a genetically modified organism, the Gruffalo’s mythic components are similarly eclectic. To start with, he’s not summoned by grave-robber necro-medicine, but by incantation:Explore the deep dark wood and see what you can spot! Between any two cards, there is always exactly one matching symbol, whether it's a mouse, a snake or the fearsome Gruffalo's knobbly knees or terrible teeth! Be the first to find the match in the game of speedy observation, a brand-new edition of the UK's best-selling game featuring gorgeous illustrations from the beloved children's book."

Don’t cry wolf. The golem servant-menace of Jewish folklore. And poor Victor Frankenstein, in Mary Shelley’s novel, rushing out in “breathless horror and disgust” after seeing “the dull yellow eye of the creature open”.

Gruffalo Dobble | Waterstones

The Gruffalo is comic horror. But while echoing other tales and genres, the story stands alone. It features a unique and unsurpassed monster: what you imagine can kill you. It’s bizarre to think he’s only been around since 1999, so culturally embedded is he now. Memory can be varied to suit different ages and abilities; for younger children use fewer cards, but you’ll be surprised at just how good children are at this game. They make a great birthday gift or smashing Christmas giftIf the postman/woman is unable to deliver the goods to you, they will leave a card through your door and re-attempt delivery the following day.

He’s great to have around when you want to terrify anyone coming after you, but watch out when he gets hungry So the Gruffalo becomes a hulking menace, a malevolent Jungian shadow-self, as it follows the mouse through its second encounters with Fox, Owl, and Snake. These killers, unbeknown to the Gruffalo, whose eyes fix hypnotically on the mouse, scarper when they see him. Thus the Gruffalo, once materialised, saves the mouse a second time. Great replay value - The game play can be varied to suit different ages and abilities; for younger children use fewer cards, but you’ll be surprised at just how good children are at this game Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend.

Baddies in books: The Gruffalo’s double-edged menace Baddies in books: The Gruffalo’s double-edged menace

We are in magic-land; the mouse is tempting the evil eye. He could be saying Candyman in front of the mirror or dreaming A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger – the nightmare terrifyingly made flesh. He enacts, too, in his lurid comedy skin, the infantile fantasy of omnipotence. The mouse dreams a world, and lo, it is so. As the doppelganger-mouse-Gruffalo, the mouse is invulnerable, provided he can survive his own creation. What child, when feeling alone and very little, wouldn’t want some of that invincibility? Ravensburger The Gruffalo Mini Memory Game - Matching Picture Snap Pairs Game For Kids Age 3 Years and Up - Gruffalo Toy In one episode of much-loved sitcom Father Ted, the young priest Dougal confesses that the spider-baby he saw on TV was actually something he’d dreamed. Ted shows him a diagram of a man’s head. Inside it is the word Dreams. Outside, is the word Reality. “Have you been studying this like I told you?” Ted asks.
