Catch the Moon

Note: This is a short really early legacy review before I started posting longer form review in our Facebook Group.

“Catch the Moon” is a simple dexterity game which starts with a cloud and 3 ladders. You roll the dice and place a new ladder based on your dice roll…

You can get…

Only touching 1 ladder

Touching 2 ladders

The new highest point

You place the ladder and if anything touches the floor or the cloud you get a raindrop.

Once all 7 raindrops have gone least raindrops wins.

We love “Catch the Moon” in our house and it’s def my fave dexterity game.

Part of the reason why it is so good is it is very very forgiving and often even if you knock a ladder it will fall and get caught by a lower ladder which is super exciting and cool.

It also oddly gets easier as the game goes on and the structure gets more interlocked and more stable.

The day we ran out of ladders and both won the games was pretty epic.

Component quality is good. The cloud is sturdy and the dice are lovely. The ladders themselves are laser-cut MDF so can be a little flimsy and i can imagine snapping if they were played with roughly (plywood would have been a better choice here). There is also an XXL version that comes with bigger components but this is more expensive and pretty hard to find.

So yeah… my personal fave dexterity game
