From the publisher:

Polly the Porcupine™ is a spinetingling new memory and strategy game for young children. This fun game stimulates and develops memory, while giving children an introduction to simple strategy. Children also enhance their counting and fine motor skills with Polly the Porcupine™.

Polly the Porcupine™ invites you to draw quills or spines out of Polly's back. Roll the die to determine whether you're trying to draw a short or long spine. After everyone draws a spine, all the players count up the notches on their spines to determine who won that draw. The player who drew the shortest or longest spine, depending on the roll of the die gets to collect that spine. The other players have to return their spines, and they'll want to remember where they put them. You never know when you're going to need to draw another short spine. Contents include cute Porcupine, 32 Spines, Die and Instructions. For 2 to 4 players. Ages 4 and up
