Trumping Trudy Family Game Review and Giveaway Age 4+ (sent by KD Games)

Trumping Trudy is a family game which is suitable for 2-4 players age 4+. It's been sent to us by KA Games for review and they are offering one of my readers their own copy in my Christmas Present Giveaways.

Lively and another one which is a little bit rude, it really wasn't as horrible as I'd anticipated. Pull the cow's tail and she might laugh at you or moo, what you don't want is for her to pass gas...

Inside the box is everything you need except for 2 x AA batteries (not included), with not too much plastic packaging and a sturdy box. Initial assembly takes just a couple of minutes to put together the cow and spinner, so relatively Christmas-morning friendly, but your Trudy will not fit back in the box for storage without disassembly - which it's not really designed for.

The way the the cow and spinner is constructed is really clever and simple, it all just sits on top of each other.  Trudy turns to face any of the players and has a built in spinner and a selector at the bottom which tells you what to do for your move.


Players take turns to spin and follow the directions:

Perfume - give a fly to any other player
Tail - lift the tail
Poo - take a fly
Come face - turn Trudy's tail to face any other player. They must then lift the tail.
Clothes peg - You have temporary immunity to collecting more flies until someone else takes the clothes peg from you.

When a player lifts Trudy's tail she will laugh, moo or trump. If she trumps, take a fly. Play continues until there are no flies left on the table and the winner is the player with the least flies at the end.

Each game only takes around 15 minutes, so it's perfect for a family game with younger players or towards the beginning of a games evening. Everyone has a random chance of winning, so no age group has advantage and it is younger players who will probably enjoy playing the most.

My boys, especially my 8 year old, laughed a lot while we played - it can get quite tense because it's so quick! Trudy works incredibly well and this is a game which children can enjoy with friends without needing any adult intervention or supervision.

Trumping Trudy is available to buy now priced £19.99rrp from all good toy and game shops, including online at Amazon*. For more information about the entire range available see the KD Games website.
