Mermaid Island Cooperative Board Game
#GM107
Product Details
Dive into a magical underwater adventure with Mermaid Island™, a cooperative board game where players join forces to help three mermaids return safely to their island before the Sea Witch arrives.
How to Play:Players take turns spinning the spinner and moving any of the three mermaid tokens along the path toward Mermaid Island. Along the way, they can collect wand tokens that grant the power to defeat the Sea Witch if she gets too close. However, the Sea Witch is also on the move, advancing toward the island with each turn. If all three mermaids reach the island before the Sea Witch, everyone wins! But if the Sea Witch arrives first, the mermaids lose, and the game ends.
Benefits for Kids:
• Encourages Cooperation: Players work together toward a common goal, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.
• Enhances Strategic Thinking: Deciding which mermaid to move and when to use wand tokens develops planning and decision-making skills.
• Promotes Social Development: Taking turns and making collective decisions build communication skills and empathy.
• No Reading Required: Simple rules and visual cues make the game accessible to early learners.
Included in the Box:
1 game board, 3 mermaid tokens, 1 sea witch with stand, 4 wand tokens, 1 spinner and instructions.

Fun cooperative game.
A fun cooperative game. My five year old enjoyed it and really liked the mermaid illustrations. Quality is high, the parts are sturdy. If you lose a piece contact customer service and they will send you a replacement free of charge--I've done this a few times with a few different games from this brand.

Fun strategy game
We got this for our 6 year old daughter and she loves this game. She likes that in the game we are on a team and working together to win the game and beat the sea witch. The game is exciting and has some strategy to it too. Great game for younger kids who love to play games.

Cooperative is the winner….
We have The Fairy Game and Mermaid Island for our 5 year old granddaughter. She loves playing these games. I had never heard of a cooperative game before but I love the concept. The players work together to beat the villain in the game. There isn’t one winner. The group wins if you can beat in this case the Sea Witch.

Questions & Answers 5 Questions
The instructions are confusing about the wand and one place that says you can use the wand whenever you want and how many times you want and then in the next place it says you can only use the wand once, so can you only use it once or can you use it as many times as you want?
