Matilda: The Extraordinary Challenges Board Game

Description

The terrible Miss Trunchbull has scattered all the school books! Join Matilda and her friends as they race around Crunchem Hall completing mental and physical challenges for a chance to collect books (and hoping they don't come across any newts!) While avoiding Miss Trunchbull, players will get the chance to spin the spinner and complete mental or physical challenges to, hopefully, win a book! Mental challenges may consist of trivia questions or mindboggling riddles and puzzles. Physical challenges will test your skills and endurance. This extraordinary game brings the classic tale to life through an engaging mix of mental and physical challenges. Players navigate around the beautifully illustrated board, featuring the iconic characters and artwork from the story. The centrepiece is a unique spinner featuring Amanda Thripp and her legendary pigtails, adding an extra dash of whimsy to gameplay. Your mission? Collect all the books while staying one step ahead of Miss Trunchbull! The first player to collect 5 book tokens, wins! But beware... that horrible headmistress is out to stop you. Throughout the game, Miss Trunchbull is searching for naughty children to put in The Chokey. If she or another player ends their move on a space occupied by Miss Trunchbull, that player must forfeit one book token, (if they have one) go back to The Chokey space and miss their next go. —description from the publisher
