Hi Ho! Cherry-O (1960)

About this game

Hi Ho! Cherry-O is a children's game which primarily teaches turn-taking and counting. Player spin a central spinner which dictates winning or losing cherries. The winner is the first player to get 10 cherries into their bucket. The game was updated in 2007 and now includes rules for cooperative play. In the cooperative game, players work together to pick all of the fruits before the bird eats them. A nine-piece puzzle represents the bird. The cooperative game very closely resembles Orchard.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
