Protectors of the Rainbow
Growing up I always loved games with hiding and a home base. This new game combines the two perfectly and is a huge hit with kids. The games starts by the leprechaun (a parent or a player) taking all of the colored gems and hides them around the house or outside. Then, once the leprechaun says all the gems are hidden, the unicorn finders start their search. When you find the gems place them into the homebased rainbow. Great for kids 4+ and 2 – 7 players can participate. It lights up making it great for outside night time games and can be used as a nightlight. Check out the link below to see how cool this game really is.
