Is Crazy Copter good for kids? Age and difficulty
A puzzle is spread face down around a board with its four corner pieces already placed. On your turn you flip one piece. If it fits next to pieces already placed, you add it and your mouse runs forward one space for each piece it touches; if not, you turn it back and everyone tries to remember where it was. When the puzzle is finished the mouse in front wins.
What age is Crazy Copter for?
Box says 5+
We suggest 5+ with an adult helping, 6+ on their own.
A turn is flip one puzzle piece and, if it fits, place it and move your mouse one space for each piece it touches. It needs shape matching and remembering where misfit pieces were. The rulebook asks for an adult to build the grid the first time. A 5 year old can play the 36-piece puzzle with help spotting fits, and a 6 year old can play alone. The 49-piece puzzle has harder shapes.
- Easy to learn
- 2 to 4 players
