This game is as delightful as its title. It plays incredibly well with young kids and across a broad range of ages, making for great family fun. The components consist of just three things - a bright red bowl, 30 plastic noodles, and the cutest yeti you've ever seen, with eyebrows arched, mouth open wide, and arms and legs outstretched as if in a victory cheer. Those arms and legs are often what keep the yeti afloat in a diminishing sea of noodles laid over the top of the bowl, with one player at a time extracting a noodle from the tangle. It's OK if the yeti slips and slides during the process. The goal is to not be the player who sends him tumbling to the bottom. If you do, you lose. The smooth, curvy nature of the noodles allows the extraction process to be raised almost to an art form, with players alternately twisting, turning, slipping, sliding, pushing, and pulling a single noodle (oh so carefully) in order to secure its release. For 2 or more players.
