Pet Game! A Christmas Problem


How to Play "A Christmas Problem"

Items:
14 Gifts
1-4 Players
2-4 Pawns
1 Board
1 Dice

Set Up:
Each player puts its pawn on\near the "Start" space.  Take 7 gifts and place them each on a different space on the board.  You may not put them on the "Start or Finish," or on striped spaces.  Place the remaining 7 gifts on the side of the game.

Story:
It's Christmas Eve and you, a little elf, is so excited for Christmas to come.  When you get the news that Santa's sleigh will leave, you hurry and say goodbye.  All was well until your friend tells you that Santa's sleigh has crashed in Green Town.  The gifts have been lost all over the city, the forest, and partly in the North Pole. 
Object:
Be the one at "Santa's Home" to have the most gifts so that you can save Christmas (and get a special prize)!

How to Play:
The first player rolls the dice and moves the amount given.  If the player lands on a gift, the same player picks it up.  It now belongs to that player.  If the player lands on a black striped space, it will have to give away one of its gifts to the store.  If the player has none, then that space has nothing to do with him\her unless he\she has a gift.  If the player lands on a green striped space, it has landed in the store.  In the store the player has the possibility to get a free gift, but just one gift.  The second player rolls the dice now and moves the amount given...etc.  The game continues this way until everyone has arrived at "Finish" or "Santa's Home."  Then everyone counts how many gifts they have.  The person with the most gifts wins.  In case of a tie, the first person to have arrived to Santa's Home wins.

Lil' Laughs: April Edition


I am Nancy, the traveling cow and I journey with Puggles, my trusty companion.  I will recount what happened in our adventures through Pet Land...

Lil' Laughs
is probably the funniest village you'll ever visit!  Lil' Laughs is ruled by a pink ladybug named Lila Dot.  The town is named after her.  Ten funfilled pets live here.  All the jobs have a pair of pets working together so they may entertain each other.  All the pets seem all to be best friends.  Lil' Laughs is the perfect place to have all the fun in the world!

Interviews with Some Pets
Nancy: How does your money system work?
Lila: Nothing costs more than a dollar so that all pets can have a lot of fun no matter how little money they have.
Nancy: What is your main goal for Lil' Laughs?
Lila: To make sure every pet has a splendid time!
Nancy: What do you like most in Lil' Laughs? 
  • The food and the friends.  All the pets are so nice I instantly fell in love with this place.
  • The activities are fantastic!  Almost anything fun you could imagine, we have it right here!
  • The prices are very resonable.  You could do all you want for such a low price.  I couldn't resist moving here!
  • This place is about fun and friends.  That's why I own a clubhouse!
  • I changed my name to "Joy" because I felt so much "joy" here!

Lila's Ring of Happiness
Lila's Ring of Happiness brings joy to any desperate pet.  It is so big a pet will fit inside.  If you step into it, you enter eternal pleasure.  Lila was given it by a fairy and she used its magic to create Lil' Laughs.  Lila said, "Some visiting folks think all these smiles are so unbelievable they had to be magical, and I'm glad to say that they were right! [Lila smiles]"

The Circus is in Town!
Puggles hosts a circus and produces some rather mind-blowing techniques! 
First he is inside a hamster wheel and he spins around in it while being in the air! 
Next, Puggles is on a skateboard, bounces onto trampoline and spins on his skateboard in the air! 
Puggles is also on a tricycle.  He leaps off his tricycle, is projected through a hoop, lands on a trampoline that immediately makes him spring back up, arrives on a see-saw, hops off that and lands safely on the skateboard! 
Finally,  he asks a pet to come and jump on the opposite side of the see-saw Puggles is on.  The pet did so and Puggle is shot through the air and flies six meters before passing a finish line as he lands. 
The entire audience cheers and jumps frantically around.  Puggles has proven himself to be truely amazing!

Laugh!
Laugh is a performance that the pets on Lil' Laughs hold weekly.  The pets in it compete for having the best joke.  This week, four pets enter. 
The first joke is about the teller wondering why a dog likes a fire hydrant so much.  So the teller tries it and made the crowd laugh since the teller is a pig! 
The second joke is about a cute little mouse and all her teddy bears.  She shows her love for them while she is still asking for more! 
Third, a pet makes a replay of the famous book 1Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by asking multiple fish to hop out of their tank on cue to create an image to the words. 
The final joke shows an ambulance and a glass container that holds signs explaining "Why I'm in Here!"  It  continues like this: "I jumped into the pool(jumped off a cliff), I swam with the mermaids(swam witht the sharks), A mermaid told me she had a toothache(shark has a toothache), So I went to inspect(went inside the mouth), CRUNCH!  And that's why I'm in here!"
The final joke wins because most of the pets vote for it.  The prize is a free ticket for the winner and a friend to go anywhere they wished! 

Easter Egg Hunt!
            The pets of Lil' Laughs organizes an Easter Egg Hunt for all the pets to participate.  All the pets have a great time! 
Nancy: What was your favorite part of the Easter Egg Hunt?
Puggles: Finding the well hidden eggs!
Nancy: Do you think this will be a memorable event in your life?
Puggles: Yes, because I've never experienced an Easter Egg Hunt.
The whole town would definitely agree with Puggles that finding the "well hidden" eggs would be a memorable event.

A New King and Queen: A New Life: April Edition


A New King and Queen: A New Life


THE MAIN IDEA
Coca and Pearl, King and Queen

Legacy of Coca and Pearl
You can say Belle-ville started around twenty years ago, when Coca an Eight, he found a scroll in a well.  Coca deciphered the scroll and created a potion, the potion of immortality.  Coca made sure the scroll was well hidden so no one would abuse of its power.
When he was a Twelve, Coca met Pearl, the lady of his life.  Since he loved her so dearly and wouldn't let her die, he gave her some of the immortality potion.  Yet, Pearl insisted her most trusted assistant, Lila, to be given some of the potion.  That done, they remained happy for many long days. 
One day, Pearl found an injured fairy crying behind a bush.  Pearl brought the fairy to her domain and cared for her as if she were part of the family until the fairy healed fully.
To thank Pearl for all her kindness, the fairy offered Pearl several magical abilities and a Ring of Happi-ness.  Pearl thanked the fairy and gives to Lila the Ring of Happiness since the thought it would fit her best. 
With her new powers, Pearl founded Belleville.  Life was calm and much like paradise until the town was threatened of attack.  Pearl and Coca carefully chose out of the residence the best pets to protect the town.  To each guardian, Pearl gave them a power.  Each of the four guardians could manipulate one element. 
With Belleville safe from attack, the city continued to prosper. 

A New King and Queen
                  Berry Coca and Annabeth Pearl proudly mar-ch towards the throne.  Berry and Annabeth were just married and the entire town of Belleville came to celebrate.  Not only that, Berry and Annabeth became new King and Queen of Belleville.
                  Some pets earlier were almost ready to start a rebellion since they wanted a new leader to take the throne.  They claimed Coca and Pearl ruled for too long.  This is what brought Coca and Pearl to decide on making their children King and Queen. 
                  Yet, another pro-blem arises: What would happen to Lucas Coca and Penelopy Pearl, the second children of Coca and Pearl?  After much discussion, they finally come to a decision that Lucas and Penelopy would rule if anything bad happened to Berry or Anna-beth.  They would also be the trusted advisors of the new King and Queen.  The pets of Belleville are ready for a new life with Berry and Annabeth.

Heirs Born!
                  The cries are heard throughout the crowd who smile at the newborns.  The heirs of the throne are born! 
                  Berry and Anna-beth, current King and Queen have two lovely daughters named Poppy and Daphne.  Poppy will take the throne and marry Carlo, the son of Lucas and Penelopy.  Carlo also has a sister named Su-zette, an adorable name for such a cute pup. 
                  There are not only the prince and princess born, but also the children of the Elementals.  Shannon's dau-ghter is Oola, Skippy's is Kallie, Joy's is Bella, and Lily's is Felicity.  The children will begin their training as the new Ele-mentals and Guardians very soon at the age of two.
Glory and joy fill every pet's eyes.  This is a grand moment for every pet in Belleville.

Hospital

Princess in ER!
                  It was time for the first day of school for every One in Belleville.  Samantha Hop came with her school bus and speeded on her way to the school.  When she hit the brakes accidentally, the bus made an unexpected stop causing the back of the bus to lift and catapult Poppy throu-gh the air.  Poppy landed hard on the ground, but no tear came to her face.  She seemed perfectly calm in fact. 
The ambulance came immediately and reported that no harm had been done to Poppy.  The doctor even said with a force of that magnitude, it's surprising, Poppy was spared. 
Pearl herself exa-mined Poppy to see what was going on!  Pearl concluded some of her magic had been passed down to Poppy so she didn't feel the pain and was saved from any injury.  Unluckily, Daphne, the other daughter of Annabeth doesn't have this power.

Hayden Hop's Survival
                  Right after the Ceremonies, something terri-ble happened to newborn Hayden Hop. 
                  "Out of nowhere came an enormous force that lifted my sweet little Hayden and threw him across the entire land," retells Melissa Hop, Hayden's mother. 
                  Little time after this terrible accident, the am-bulance arrived and took Hayden back to the hospital as fast as possible. 
                  Dr. Zelina Pearl and Nurse Christina Coca did their very best to shape up Hayden once more.  It turns out Hayden was the "worse case we've ever had," claims Dr. Pearl. 
Hayden needed IV, a cast around the neck, and another cast on his knee.  He also wore an ice pouch on his forehead.  Mrs. Hop had to pay a furtune to tune up her son.  Yet, it is worth it.  Hayden's health is recovering and he should be able to leave the hospital by the end of day!

Cookie in Wheelchair
An Injury For Life
                  Time for school!  Adolescent Cookie Coca is ready for a new day of school.  He walks across the bridge, trips and falls terribly in the ditch.  His cries are heard by the nearby neighbor, Paskal Carrot.  She contacts the hospital and in seconds, Cookie is in the ER. 
                  Cookie's mother, Claudia Coca, arrives little time after all the examinations have been made.  Mrs. Coca learns the terrible news: Cookie would be handicapped for the rest of his life. 
                  Mrs. Coca begs for Pearl to help heal her son.  Pearl feels sorry for Mrs. Coca, so she makes sure Cookie's injuries will not ache for the rest of his life.  Once again, Pearl saves the day!  Mrs. Coca is pleased and so is her son.  Life may continue happily.

EXTRAS!

Two New Couples!
                  On this rare occa-sion, we have two couples being wed: Cookie Coca and Lauren Coca and Gregory Hop and Samantha Squeak.  The brides wore the traditional wedding dress and the four families celebrated cheerfully. 
Cookie and Lauren thought they were fit to be a couple because Lauren wanted to become a doctor and Cookie was handicapped.  They also evoked special feelings for one another. 
Gregory saw Sam-antha's sneaky green eyes and knew she would be the perfect pet to marry.  The way the town describes it is more like, "They were both impolite and selfish, a perfect match."  Both Samantha and Gregory are known for their bad deedsto the town. 
Anna's Auction & Boutique
                  Anna Flap is one lucky pet.  She came into town one day with few belongings and held and auction.  She raised much money and made a fortune.
                  Ms. Flap was born in the land of Butterflies and has always dreamed to travel the world.  Now she does it for a living.  She travels somewhere, buys common items only found in that town and brings it back to sell.  She holds auctions to earn up to four times as much money as it cost her. 
                  Ms. Flap also owns a small boutique in which the items are still very pricey, and she won't let you buy much since she wants items left to auction.
                  Ms. Flap is current-ly the richest pet in the city with $101 earned after hold-ing an auction.  She and her daughter are rejoicing and enjoying life as much as they can. 
                  "We aren't exactly sure where all of our money will go, but I really want my daughter to be happy.  We'll take several trips to other lands and buy items to furnish our place.  We'd also like to donate some money to the government when needed.  I would love to help the communtity and be a great example to my daughter."
                  Even though Ms. Flap is rich, she isn't selfish and will set a great example for the town and her daughter.

What About the King and Queen?

We can't just forget the King and Queen and all of the rest of Belleville's great government!  Let's go from top to bottom.  Are you ready?  Here we go!  On the very top on the left sitting in his pink chair (I know, not so manly) is the immortal overseer and true king of the town: Cocoa!  His lovely wife, the immortal overseer and true queen of Belleville, Pearl!  Next row!  The brown dog with the pointy pink ears is the ruling king, Berry.  On his right is his queen, Annabeth.  On her right is Lila, the overseer of fun in Belleville.  On her right is Lucas, the "vice" king.  If the Berry is absent, he rules along with his wife, Penelopy on his right.  Third row.  The first daughter of Berry and Annabeth, Poppy.  She is supposed to marry Carlo (the son of Lucas and Penelopy, at the end of the third row.  In between them are the Elementals.  From left to right: Shannon (water), Skippy (earth), Joy (fire), and Lily (air).  They control the elements and are the guardians of Belleville.  On the last row is the younger daughter of Berry and Annabeth, Daphne.  Carlo's younger sister Suzie is on the end of this row.  In between are the children of each Elemental, each child underneath their parent.  So that was all of Belleville's court!
How would you set up the court?  What would you change?  Let me know by posting a comment!
