The Mole in the Hole*
A children's game that is also fun for adults. Players move their moles in search of the Golden Shovel to dig underground. The game features a multi-layered board with holes that lead to the next level. Players navigate their moles to these holes, and when a board is full, it is removed from the game along with any remaining moles. They continue descending through each layer until they reach the final level with a single hole leading to the Golden Shovel. It's a simple race to the finish with colorful game pieces that are enjoyable for both kids and adults!
