Overview
Hasbro Gaming dresses the classic tapping game in a snow cone theme, with Harriet the Mammoth perched on a tray of ice blocks. Players tap out blocks with a mallet, and the one who lets Harriet fall is out.
Preschoolers get suspense and turn-taking without any reading, plus a color mode that builds recognition. Groups larger than four will need to take turns sitting out.
Who it's for
Playdates and family game nights with little ones suit this game. Older children may outgrow the simple rules quickly.

Performance notes
The tension comes from blocks held only by their neighbors, so each tap shifts the load on Harriet's perch. In the die mode, chance decides which color must go, which takes some choice away from careful players.
