Cute and fun game of pebbles and shells comes from game maker Pipany’s Danish Great Grandfather Matzen who knew seven languages and sailed the oceans of the 19th century.
The makers grew up playing Ship, Ship, Sailing on Cornish beaches during the summer and around the kitchen table in the long winter months.
The rules are simple, so it is the perfect game for your over threes and it is educational as well, helping children work on their mental arithmetic too.
Each game is handmade and comes with little embroidered ticking bags for the pebbles and shells. Full instructions are included and the lovely calico bag is finished with a carrick knot to keep it all in.
Enough shells and pebbles are included for two players but if you want to add to your game, you don’t need to head to the store to do so, just take a beach walk and collect some of your own pebbles and shells to make pieces for more players.
