From University Games

Polly the Porcupine is a delightful memory and strategy game for kids. This fun game stimulates and develops memory, while giving children an introduction to simple strategy. Children also enhance their counting and fine motor skills with Polly.

Tots take turns drawing quills or spines out of Polly's back. Roll the die to determine whether you're trying to draw a short or long spine. After everyone draws a spine, all the players count up the notches on their spines to determine who won that draw. The player who drew the shortest or longest spine, depending on the roll of the die, gets to collect that spine. The other players have to return their spines, and they'll want to remember where they put them. You never know when you're going to need to draw another short spine. The player with the most porcupine spines wins. No reading required. Includes Polly the Porcupine, 32 Spines, Die and Instructions.

Customer Reviews
Cute, but ...
I purchased Polly the Porcupine game because I thought it would help my grandson with memory, thinking and strategy. It is a memory game in that the players must remember where the shorter quills are. The player with the shortest quill during each round gets to keep their quill. The one with the most at the end of the game is the winner. My grandson is almost 4. He thinks Polly is cute, but isn't all that interested in the game. She sits on a shelf and he doesn't ask to play the game again. It would be nice if the box had been larger so she could be put away in the box. Her quills fall out very easily. It's all too easy for little ones to lose the quills. His 16 month old sister would be love to play with Polly and would surely lose the quills. One nice quality is there is a spot underneath that keeps the die securely with Polly.
