Our take

A silly costume game with two clues to match

The two jumbo dice ask the child to combine information before choosing a costume for a raccoon. That is a small step beyond matching one obvious feature. The underwear outcome is part of the game's humor and its rule changes; explaining it first helps keep the surprise enjoyable.

Best fit
Dressing-up silliness and a simple two-part rule, with players happy for the game to change their progress.
Before buying
The underwear outcome changes progress; explain the joke and rule before play. Match the player count and reading demands to the group before opening the game.
