Phase 10

This game is based on the popular card game Phase 10th

There are 10 stations. At each station, several games are prepared. IF you can’t resolve one station, you have to go back one station. Ie, if you do not make the 3rd station, you need to go back to station 2. However, you just can’t repeat the game you finished before; you have to resolve a new one.

Three are several teams. The team, which reaches station 10 first, wins.

For younger children could be present this in a way, that, for example, a princess has been kidnapped. To rescue her you first have to pass those 10 obstacles.
