Gameplay
In Dodo, a mama dodo has laid her egg at the top of the mountain. Players cooperatively work to build bridges and dock the boat to catch the egg before it falls off the mountain (keeping it from hatching). You do this by rolling a die and turning over tokens. If they match, you get to add the building materials to your bridges and dock.
Thoughts
Everything about the components of this game screams “play with me!!” The mountain, how you add the bridges, the boat and the amazing wobbly, slow rolling egg are pretty irresistible on the table. I was initially a little skeptical about how sturdy a kids game with so many 3D components could be, but the way things go together, it seems like it will hold up really well.It does take a little while to put together, but play goes fast so you can get in multiple games in a session (especially if you lose).
This is such a fun cooperative kids game! It is also low stress enough to help my speed-averse kid work though some of that anxiety around “racing” a game. I actually think my 3 year old will be able to play soon.
Game gifted by the publisher but all thoughts are always my own.
