Mermaid Island - A Cooperative Kids Game

Posted by the folks at Cow & Lizard on Dec 5th 2015

So you ask - what is a cooperative game?  It is a game where everyone plays together, no one is left out and everyone has fun.  In a cooperative game, players work together as a team against a common obstacle, not against each other.  Cooperative games emphasize play, not competition. 

Peaceable Kingdom's cooperative games build confidence, encourage inclusion and teach kids to share.  Kids work together, they help each other and most importantly, they play for fun.

Better yet, Peaceful Kingdom's cooperative games for kids are earth friendly and socially responsible.  They print with soy-based inks on FSC paper and include parts made only with corn-based plastic.  Their games are good for the planet and good for your family.  Help them keep the whole kingdom green.

One of their cooperative games is Mermaid Island.  It is a board game for 2 - 6 players that are ages 5 years and older.  It takes about 15 - 20 minutes to play.

Watch out Mermaids!  The Sea Witch is on the move,  Cooperative help the three Mermaids swim to Mermaid Island before the Sea Witch get there.  Spin and move, pick up a wand and you'll have the power to defeat the Sea Witch.  But don't let the Sea Witch land on a mermaid or she will go back to the start.  Players decide together which mermaid to move on each turn and when to use the wands.  All players play together against the Sea Witch instead of against each other.  Mermaid Island - it's a game of cooperation and adventure!
