The Toomies Greedy Granny In a Spin is a fast, family-friendly matching game for 2 to 4 players, aged 5 and over. Building on the well-known Greedy Granny character, this version puts a new spin on the classic game of Snap: press the hunger plunger to set Granny's beady eyes spinning, and when they stop at random, everyone races to find the card that matches the pair of eyes now showing on her face. It's a quick, frenzied game of spotting and reacting that gets the whole table involved.
Each round starts fresh, so no one can predict how Granny's eyes will land. The cards look similar at a glance, but every one is different, and all players are free to grab for the card they think matches. The first to spot the correct pair collects the number of toy cookies shown on the dial. Play carries on until the cards are done or the biscuits run out, and the player with the biggest cookie collection wins.
How to play
- Press the hunger plunger to set Granny's eyes spinning.
- Wait for the eyes to stop at a random combination.
- All players race to find the card showing the matching pair of eyes.
- The first player to spot and grab the correct card collects the number of toy cookies shown on the dial.
- Keep playing rounds until all the cards are used or the biscuits are gone. The player with the most cookies wins.
What the game invites
Because the winning card changes every round, children have to look carefully at the contrasting designs and act quickly to match the patterns. It's an enjoyable way to practise visual discrimination, matching and taking turns in a lively group setting. The reward of collecting a different number of toy cookies each round also brings in a little counting as play goes on.
Folds away for storage and travel
When it's time to put Granny to bed, the unit folds up neatly into its own storage compartment, keeping the cards and toy biscuits together in one place. That makes it practical to pack away between games and easy to take along on holiday. The set measures 270 mm wide by 270 mm high by 60 mm deep and needs no batteries, so it's ready to play straight away.
