Want to connect with your kids in a way that's wholesome, entertaining and FUN--and DOESN'T require a video control stick or TV screen? We've got the solution--THE PET STORE GAME, a great new family board game about pets that was specifically created with quality family time in mind!

We began by thinking about what things kids enjoy, universally. At the top of the list--PETS! (What kid hasn't asked their mom or dad, "can we KEEP him--PLEEEEEASE!?") THE PET STORE GAME--the board game about pets!--lets kids use their imagination to enjoy "owning" and exchanging pets. (The benefits to you, the parent, should be obvious, but just in case, we've printed it on the game box itself: "Pure Pet FUN, No Pet MESS!" )

THE PET STORE GAME board game about pets is kid-tested for fun, and easy to play for kids even as young as six years old. Each player starts with an identical amount of colored coins and a "starter" group of three pets. Each player, on their turn, rolls a dice and moves around the pet game board. Where you land determines what you can do--buy a new pet, sell one of the pets from your "store," or simply "enjoy" your pets by taking them out of their cages. Each action has the potential to generate coins. (See the sample card of Max the Basset Hound, at left.) First player to reach a value of 100 coins, wins the game!

Much of the FUN of this board game about pets is in deciding how to get your coins. (SHHH! Don't tell the kids, but they're sharpening their MATH skills by playing the game!) Some kids like to wheel-and-deal, others like to just "love" on their pets and watch the coins accumulate! Still others have fun "specializing" in a certain KIND of pet.

There's a wide variety of pets included with this board game, which makes for even MORE fun! Each pet is different in terms of how much it costs and what happens when you take it "out of its cage." Of course, there are a number of various cats and dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small rodents. But there are also some surprises that your kids will LOVE! You'd probably never let your kid have a pet GORILLA--but she can have one in this board game about pets of all kinds! (Watch out for the furniture, though!) Or maybe a skunk--or a cow? They'll love the idea--YOU'LL love not having to clean up AFTER them!

THE PET STORE GAME was designed to be able to be played by kids--but, teens and adults will appreciate the strategy and gamesmanship built into this board game. It has just the RIGHT mix of strategy, decision-making, and luck, without getting complicated. What this means is that YOU'LL enjoy playing this game about pets as much as your KIDS will! It's not some boring combination of dice-rolling and dumb luck, like a lot of kids games turn out to be.
