Description

Nelly is a fun and interactive board game where 2 to 4 players take turns placing their wooden turtles on the back of a wooden hippopotamus named Nelly. The game is set in a small lake in Africa, where Nelly lives with her friends, including little turtles and a heron. The goal is to be the first player to place all of their turtles on Nelly's back, but it's not as easy as it sounds. The game is full of unexpected twists, as players can feed Nelly with water plants, move the heron, or place their turtles on her back. However, if Nelly accidentally eats a plant with a crab underneath, she'll get pinched in the nose and dive into the water, causing some of the turtles to fall off and have to start over. With simple rules and a playtime of just 25 minutes, Nelly is a great game for kids and adults alike, promoting action, dexterity, and a little bit of luck.
