Toys and Games Reviews of Wildcraft! An Herbal Adventure Game, a cooperative board game

Customer Review: Beautiful learning tool for children and adults
Summary: 5 Stars

I am always on the lookout for cooperative games and this one did not disappoint me. The game itself is gorgeous, and it's also very educational. It allows my children to learn about herbs in a fun manner, and I was quite surprised by how generous my son was with me when we played this game.
The idea of the game is for a group of children to take a hike in the woods behind Grandma's house and collect huckleberries. Along the way, various things can happen to the children when they land on various spaces, such as sunburn, bug bites, etc. When the children pull the card with the ailment, there are pictures of herbs that can help fix it. If the child who pulls the card does not have the herb card that can help her, then others can help her. The whole idea is to work together. It doesn't matter who wins--the point is for all of the children to make it back to Grandma's before it gets dark. There are even cooperation cards that can be drawn so the children who are ahead can bring another player up with them.
The first time we played the game, it seemed a bit long for my 5 year old, but then I found the adaption of rules for younger children. We also got more comfortable with the game and realized we weren't following the directions completely. Once we learned them, the game went much faster. I enjoy playing this game because I learn something too.
Highly recommended!!

Description of Wildcraft! An Herbal Adventure Game, a cooperative board game

Wildcraft! An Herbal Adventure Game is a cooperative board game that teaches edible and medicinal Plants. Wildcraft! teaches 25 important edible and medicinal plants and their uses in mostly first aid situations. (Wildcrafting is the harvesting of wild plants). Players learn about plants by connecting the icon on the challenge or "trouble" cards with the icons on the plant cards. If a player has a "burdock" card in their herb basket and draws a "hungry" card, then the player can turn the cards in and move to the next rest space. Though it is a cooperative game, there is plenty of strategy and drama as players travel up the mountain to the Huckleberry Patch and back to Grandma's before nightfall. The only way to get back safely is to help each other out. However, it's ok if you don't make it. Grandma will come and get you. :) Wildcraft! is a great introduction to the world of edible and medicinal herbs for children of ALL ages. It's a beautifully illustrated, nature based, educational, cooperative game created in the tradition of the classic board games. Kids love the "Chutes and Ladders" type of play.Wildcraft! features storytelling and fosters the imagination. It's one of the best natures games, being that it connects kids to nature.
