Berries, Bugs & Bullfrogs

Play four different cooperative tile games with Berries, Bugs & Bullfrogs! Players form as many good berry patches as they can, with the help of the friendly bullfrogs. The basic mathematical skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing all get a workout!
In the Good Berry Patch Game, players form as many Good Berry Patches as they can that have more Berries than Bugs. In the Bug-Free Berry Patch Game, each Bug will eat a Berry and only saved Berries count... with a Bonus for each totally Bug-Free Patch formed. There are also two Mind-Reader Berry Patch Games, in which each tile is played silently with players trying to guess what tile the others are going to play. Lots of fun!
Play as friends, not as enemies! Family Pastimes games foster the spirit of cooperation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, complete a space exploration... They never play against each other. After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies - in other words, to get rid of one another!
At Family Pastimes we believe that people of different ages and abilities should be able to play side by side, each making their best contribution. We are all there together when we finish the game to take joy in our successes and wonder how we might work together even better the next time we play. Thus, Family Pastimes games will prove to be a friendly form of fun. Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. - whatever your objectives, we invite you to realize them by cooperative means. We hope you enjoy playing and learning together!
