Why Children Will Love This Fun Game
Young children love the idea of a "treasure hunt." Cariboo plays on a children's inquisitive nature. Children are presented with a special key that will unlock secret doors to reveal buried treasure. The concept of the treasure hunt will captivate children.
Cariboo is a game that invites children of a range of ages and abilities to participate. No one will be left out. The game has "beginner" and "advanced" cards. As children grasp the skills, they move up to the next stage without feeling that the game is babyish. Cariboo is perfect for families with several children.
If it is a busy evening in a family, children can play this educational game independently. No reading is required, and the rules are quite simple and easy to remember. The ability to play independently will build self-esteem.
