Tiger Stripes is a fun and fast-paced game that's perfect for kids and families. Designed by Philip duBarry and Isabel duBarry, this 2011 game is easy to learn and can be explained in no time, making it a great introduction to board games for young players. With simple rules and a short playtime of just 10 minutes, you can jump into the action quickly and enjoy a thrilling experience with 2 to 4 players. The goal is to earn stripes for your tiger, and you can do this by hunting for food or searching for valuable jewels through a clever card drafting mechanism. As you hunt for food, you'll encounter cards featuring different animals, each worth a certain number of stripes. But beware, some cards might give stripes to other players, so you'll need to strategize and make the most of your picks. Alternatively, you can search for jewels, which add directly to your score. The game ends when one tiger gains all its stripes, and then players count their points from jewels and subtract penalties for missing stripes. The player with the highest score wins, making Tiger Stripes a great way to enhance basic math skills while having a blast. With its quick gameplay and exciting challenges, Tiger Stripes is an excellent choice for a fun family game night or a quick play session with friends.
