Description

Not Done Yeti (previously called Snowmen!) is a fun little game about creating snowmen. All players walk over the same dangerous frozen map, collecting snowballs of different sizes as they go. At the end, the player who builds the tallest snowman wins.

But, of course, there are rules. Snowman rules. You can only place a smaller circle on top of a bigger one, and snowmen need to end with a head! And if you end up with unfinished snowmen? Or you fall through the ice? That won’t be great for your score …

The game is playable by young and old, because it does not rely on text, color, or numbers. You only need to compare the raw sizes of the circles and recognize if circles are touching each other. The rules for the base game are only a single page. Expansions add special elements like bridges, action icons, and a cooperative mode.

Because every game has a randomized map—just place snowballs on the table however you like—every game is quick to set up and different to play. Have fun!

REMARK! The game requires cutting out 3 pages of circular snowballs (in different sizes). That’s why “setup” is marked as 2/5 stars (instead of our usual 1/5), because this will take a solid 30 minutes of cutting! Once cut out, of course, you never have to do it again and every new game can be started within 10 seconds.

Subject icon for mathematics

Subject: Mathematics

The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.

This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:

This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.

Faction: Gamiverses

This resource is part of the Gamiverses Faction.

But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!

You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.

Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.

For example,

Charm: Board Game

This product is part of the Board Game charm.

Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:

Board Games are simply physical games (as opposed to video games). They could be played using cards, without a board, with players physically moving around, anything.

Our board games follow the rule that your first game should only require a single page of setup + rules. Most of them are cooperative multiplayer experiences.

Spell: My First Comparisons

This resource is part of the My First Comparisons topic (or "spell").

Earlier topics taught Apprentices to identify if things are the same or not. This topic takes the next step: HOW are they different? This also gently introduces the idea of sequencing: putting things in order based on … something.

This resource also covers other topics. To keep things simple, the curriculum always considers the first topic listed to be the most important.

Use the buttons below to navigate to the previous or next topic in the curriculum.

Ready for the next step?

The Spell (or "educational topic") of this product is My First Comparisons.

Use the buttons to navigate to the next or previous Spell. It selects a product of the same type if possible. Otherwise it brings you to the overview page.

Try another approach?

The Faction (or "product type") of this product is Gamiverses.

This approach might work for some Apprentices but not for others! That's why we recommend exploring each topic in a variety of ways.

Maybe a (different) game works better? Or a quiz, story, or escape room? Below are some random suggestions.
