Q's Race to the Top Boardgame

Q's Race to the Top Boardgame
Brain Child
Tillywig Award Winner 2016

EQtainment
$29.99
3-12 yrs.

It's rare to find a board game so well-suited to young players, both in terms of playability and the benefits children get from the experience. Q, an adorable and highly intelligent dusky leaf monkey, has a great capacity to be both selfless and self-centered. His exploits are detailed in an included storybook and in vignettes that appear throughout one of the game's card decks. Kids easily relate to Q's impetuousness, making him an apt surrogate whose escapades provide a wealth of teachable moments. Players move around the board on rolls of the die, drawing cards from one of three decks determined by the space on which they land. Playfully conceived Q-themed components and carefully thought-out questions and activities prove highly effective in teaching children a broad range of social, emotional, and physical skills. Meanwhile, the immense amount of pleasure kids take in playing the game keeps them happily engaged from start to finish.
