Giants Moving Tiny Furniture

NEW

Just when you think that the team from Exploding Kittens must have run out of ideas, along comes “Giants Moving Tiny Furniture”!

The premise is easy, move tiny fingers from your game table to various locations in your house….. but only using you’re pinky fingers!

After placing two “homes” in different locations in your house along with one on the table next to you, a card is drawn that shows you which home you have to move the furniture too, and which furniture to move.

Talking of the furniture, the tables, chairs, beds and other items are built use plastic covered foam, making them light, but difficult to stack.

You then bid how quickly you can move the furniture, and in how many trips. All teams can then continue to update the bid, reducing the time, or number of trips each time, until one of the trams is left, and they have to perform the task.

And this is where the fun starts, whether you’re playing on your own, or in a team, attempting to gather the furniture together and move it, with only your pinkies created a lot of crazy fun.

Once you’ve done it a few times you get an idea of what you can move and so the challenge comes in the bidding, trying to force another team go as low as possible, without you being stuck with a time that you can’t do.

The great thing about this game is that no two games are the same, making it great value for money.

We had two teams of 2 of varying ages and here are our thoughts:

Pros:

• Great concept.

• Hard but appropriate.

• We did have fun!!!!

• Definitely replayable.

Cons:

• Pieces are a little flimsy. After two games, they were starting to fall apart. The pieces slide apart easily. The paper around the pieces began to peel after the first game.

Ideally the pieces should be more sturdy especially since we think this would a great party game. Also, we felt this would be better with 3 or more teams because it was easier to accrue cards with 2 teams.

Not the usual game from EK but a lot of fun. Good for a change-up to throw in the mix for game night. The furniture comes in pieces that need to be assembled, but it’s all pretty cute, and honestly my daughter enjoyed the task of assembling all the cute little pieces. The way the furniture can kind of fall apart also adds to the challenge of moving it successfully. My family (my teenage daughters and my retired parents and I) played and had lots of laughs together and enjoyed the creative challenges this game presented. Our only disappointment was the game was over too quickly, but that’s easily fixed by extending the points needed to win from 3 to maybe 5. Either way, some simple fun and easy laughs guaranteed!

Do you enjoy building furniture? Planing and coordinating moving furniture? Bidding for jobs to prove you can do it better than others? Then this is totally the game for you!

Start the game off by building miniature pieces of furniture yourself, similar to the ones you get from IKEA.

Once that's done, find a business partner to plan, argue, and work with, to try and be the best of 3 furniture companies and hopefully get the jobs done successfully for points! If you fail to fulfill your contract, your rivals get the points.

This cycle the repeats until there's one moving company that rises to the top as the neighborhoods best (for the duration of the game at least).

It's a great game to test out how well you work with others under stressful conditions with just your pinkies as your tool.
