About This Book
Kids will delight in this irresistible family game! Here's how to play: Players have a dream job, working at an ice cream shop, creating delicious sundaes for customers. The ice cream dish and scoops are ready—all that needs to be added are toppings! But there's a catch: Each customer has a special request, and there are ice cream shop surprises in store that may hinder or accelerate the players' progress. Spin the spoon to select a topping, then draw a napkin story card for a bonus topping, a topping trade, or a topping loss. The first player to complete his or her sundae wins! This sweetly spirited board game provides heaps of opportunities for engaged play and boundless creativity!
