Thames & Kosmos – Catch the Moon – Whimsical-themed Ladder
Thames & Kosmos – Catch the Moon – Whimsical-themed Ladder Stacking Game – 1-6 Players – Fun for Adults & Kids, Ages 8+ – 682606
Place the cloud in the centre of the table and the raindrops and die next to it. Take two straight ladders and insert them into the cloud. Place the other ladders in the box next to the cloud. The player who has most recently seen a full moon goes first, if you can’t decide, the youngest player goes first.
Roll the die and place the ladder according to the die – if the die shows one ladder, place the ladder so that it is only touching one ladder. If the die shows two ladders, place the ladder so that it is touching exactly two ladders. If the die shows a crescent moon, place the ladder so that its tip becomes the highest point of the structure.
As you place a ladder, the other ladders in the structure may move. You can continue to move your ladder as long as you do not let go of it and you have not caused any ladder to touch the table or cloud. However, once you let go of your ladder, it can no longer be moved. If you make a mistake you will need to take a raindrop
The game ends when the last raindrop is taken or the last ladder is placed. The player with the fewest raindrops wins.

Fun dexterity game with a quirky and intriguing ‘table presence’. You roll the dice and place a ladder accordingly – but the ladders are oddly shaped and it is harder than it looks to complete the request! The components are high quality and we kept returning to this game over and over again. The plastic cloud has a very slight wobble to it, but I’m not sure if this is a fault or not – it did not affect the gameplay, nor diminished our enjoyment of the game.
I bought this from Amazon Warehouse (bashed box, brand new untouched game components). And I love it. It’s a delight. I fixed the box with sellotape.
We’ve got quite a few dexterity games & this is one of the loveliest, lightest, fluffiest of them. Great theme & simple components. The little ladders are so cute. They feel so light but seem pretty sturdy. It’s well made.
The ladders & cloud dream theme is quirky & unusual. It adds a lightness to the game & makes it feel classy. It almost feels more like an art project than a game when you are building. It’s just fun.
Dexterity games are always good for a laugh & relaxing us. We enjoy all our dexterity games for that reason. This one is rather special & I’m really glad I saw it & grabbed the ‘damaged box’ copy.
This is a nice little game with reasonable pieces. fairly simple instructions and game mechanics.
Good for younger players to understand, and play time is at most 10-15 mins.
Repeatable.
My husband and I have two young children, and we struggled for a long time to find quick games suitable for two players. This game is wonderful!
They have a few ways to play this, but when everyone competes against each other it’s the most fun. Think Jenga, but you’re building by stacking your ladder on the pile according to the roll of the dice(indicating the number of ladders yours can touch). Really not a lot of fuss, but a constant game of balance.
It’s quick, but not too short. It’s simple, but not boring. It’s so insanely easy to learn, and produces lots of laughs! The packaging and imagery on the instructions is beautiful and it all feels high quality.
