Mask ‘n’ Ask from Drumond Park (rrp £16.99) is a brilliant new board game which up to four people aged around seven plus can play together. There are 30 top quality double-sided masks with beautifully designed, colourful animal faces on one side, and jokey-looking human characters on the other. On the animal side, kids might find a Badger, Crab, or Elephant, for instance. And on the human side, the mask may be a Princess, Sailor or Wizard.
Children can play on either side of the board. Each player has a turn at spinning the spinner – and then asks the other players the question printed on the board, on which his or her playing piece has landed. For human characters, this might be “Do I wear a helmet in my job?” and for animals it could be “Do I have stripes, spots or a pattern?” Their opponents have to give ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answers, and the player then places a YES or NO token on the relevant space, to help them remember the answer. This strategy takes away the stress of having to think up a series of questions by themselves, in order to work out who they are – helping children to express themselves more clearly.
When a player correctly guesses his or her identity, they choose a new mask from the pile – and the first person to guess three masks correctly is the winner! Certain to be a sure-fire winner this Christmas, this game is cleverly designed and superbly entertaining.
