Cat’s Cradle is the name of the game in English, Fadenspiele in German, or also Faden abheben = Thread lifting, as you lift the loops over fingers, especially when playing in pairs. This edition within the series Edition SOS –Kinderdörfer Spiele aus aller Welt assigns cat’s cradle games to Tahiti and gives basic rules for all cat’s cradle games: The loops are named for the fingers the are looped around and the threads are named for the finger they belong to. One example: front thumb thread. The length of threads used should be adjusted individually to each player and should be twice the length of an outstretched arm.

Possible ways to play are to give figure to do to each player, the fastes one to finish the task is the winner of the Round. Or each player in turn forms the same figure, the fastest player wins the round …. And of course there is no limit to your own creativity, you can invent your own creations or chance the ones shown in the game or expand them. The tasks have a different difficulty rating and offer lots of fun with a classic mechanism. As all other games of the series Tohunga is based on a well-known, classic games mechanism that was painstakingly and attractively adapted even if the reason for assignment to a certain country is not always clear.

The set of instructions is easily understandable and easily followed. Thanks to the punched cards that can be easily held together all can play easily and the game is ideal for journey and holidays, not only for children.

All in all a very pretty game in a very pretty and recommendable series of re-launched classics.
