THUMBS UP!
NEW
From the creator of Penny Ante a new game that is fun
for everyone. Opinions, laughter, and interaction are the
goals of the game. Thumbs Up! invites players to roll the
die, and as a large wooden peg gets moved around the
colorful game board, each player gets to respond to
famous quotes. It can be played successfully with seniors
with dementia, but works well with all groups. Great as a
conversation starter, yet people with little to no verbal
ability can play. Everyone’s opinion is important in Thumbs Up! The game comes with a
colorful roll-up game board, wooden peg,
120 quote cards in four bright colors, and a
large die. Packed in a sturdy box.
Instructions included. Wildly successful
with our test group – a thumbs up.
