Little Red Riding Hood and the family of pigs are living peacefully in the village – but one day, a hungry wolf appears who would dearly love to eat someone. Red and the pigs are in danger of being eaten! Rather than surrender to the plate, though, they decide to trap the wolf and shoo him from the village. Can they drive the wolf away – or will they all be eaten?
In Eat Me, If You Can, the wolf player tries to eat one of the other players to score points while the players, being prey, score by trapping the wolf. In each round, one player is the wolf and the other players are given Little Red Riding Hood (worth 3 points), Mother Pig (2 points), or a little piggy (1 point). Each non-wolf player then secretly chooses one of two cards in hand: Will the player sleep and rest, hoping not to be disturbed by the wolf? Or will the player set up a trap, thinking that the wolf will be coming for her? Once the players lay down their cards, the wolf chooses one of the players. If this player went to sleep, the wolf takes points from this player equal to the value of her character; if she set up a trap, on the other hand, she takes points from the wolf. Everyone else who rested this round scores points from the bank for their character — but only if they got their beauty sleep!
Whoever lost points that round becomes the wolf for the next round and hands out the character cards to players as she wishes. As soon as a player has ten or more points, the game ends and the player with the most points wins.

Destrio
Succinct in the experience of bluffing. Despite the dissimilar themes, this game has a lot in common with Sheriff of Nottingham, but much quicker and lighter. A filler version of the same bluffing mechanic. Thick cardboard stock and great art.

This is very similar to Nicht zu fassen, and each one have their own faults which prevent them from being truly great games. In this one, the big problem is that certain houses are better than others - it's not fair that one player can earn 3, while another only 1. My kids are young enough where I don't think it's a big deal for them. They really enjoy it, and it's definitely a big plus that even very young children can play this unassisted.

A super fun little filler that is best with 4 or more people where more of the roles are filled up. Bluffing and risk taking game. No setup time is a bonus!
