Catch the Moon

Product Information

One or several ladders fall or touch the table or the base. As soon as this happens, these ladders are removed from the game if at all possible (they will not be used for the rest of the game).The player’s turn ends immediately. If the player had not yet placed his ladder, it is also removed from the game. The straight ladders used during setup are never removed. As you may have guessed, Catch the Moon is about climbing up into the night sky to grab that globe of glorious Gouda….haha okay so even I know the moon is not made of cheese. But how cool would that be?!

If you drop your ladder or any ladders fall off onto the cloud base or the table, they are removed from the game, and you receive a raindrop. The game ends when either (a) all the ladders are used or (b) all 7 raindrops have been taken. And the winner is the player with the fewest raindrops in total! Catching And DroppingClimb through the clouds and reach for the moon! All it takes is a few cleverly placed ladders, a steady hand, and a bit of imagination. Reach for the moon, but don't stretch yourself too thin, or you may lose the ladders under your feet. With the right mix of suspense and risk taking, you will ascend to success.

Setup

There are a couple of downsides. For one, there’s almost no interaction between players, and it’s easy to become engrossed in your own game, ignoring everyone else around the table. Things can also slow down considerably as players mull over the options available to them, leading to some long waits between turns. But if you’re looking for a game that’s simple yet cerebral, this is a tight and elegant little brain-teaser.
