Read the full game description

Oh no! The polar bear cubs got all splotched up with paint while they were helping the Inuits to paint their Igloos. Needless to say, Daddy Cool isn’t thrilled when he sees his bunch of bear cubs. “What we need, is some soap and water” he says, and sets off with his cubs on the way to the wash tub. The first player to reach the wash tub with his bear cub is the winner. This children's game, nominated for the Kinderspiel des Jahres 2005, involves a brinkmanship mechanic similar to "Can't Stop," and is recommended for Ages 5 and up.
