I've emailed you the rules as JPEGs, as the pdfs are a fair bit larger in size. If you would like them in another format, however, do let us know! We'll probably upload them soon to Boardgamegeek, which is an excellent resource for games: <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40231/the-terrific-tuatara-trail-game" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40231/the-terrific-tuatara-trail-game</a> Cheers, Minty Hi Judy,

My brother sent our family The Terrific Tuatara Trail (we're living in Switzerland) and it's beautiful. There is one small problem -we can't find the rules. I suspect that one of the younger family members had a hand in this, but I was wondering if you have the rules online anywhere to download? Kind regards, Judy Elben Hi there!

I can understand that your grandson would be hugely keen to score the All Blacks team (as would many others!) but we're contractually obliged by the IRB's licensing group to provide an even distribution of all 20 teams in the boxed game. It does say on the back that it contains two teams randomly drawn from the 20, but there's a lot of information on the box and it could be missed. In any event, I have young kids and I know what it's like when they're disappointed, so let's see what we can do to make it right! Andrew and I have had a quick discussion and we'll contact you via email and hopefully we can sort this so you've got a happy grandson. Cheers, Minty Hunter Five Men Standing co-inventor Hi Jackie,

He was very disappointed by the fact that the game only contained two teams which were Australia and USA. He couldnt believe that the All Blacks were not in the game. I returned to the store to see if you can buy additional teams for this game but was told that there are no such products. So I am trying to find out from the source how I can get more teams for this game. Are there only two teams per game? If so, then how can we get extra teams? I look forward to hearing from you.

I've emailed you a big reply: regardless of whether it's our games or many of the fabulous ones out there, I think board and card games are just brilliant for family fun, so I'm happy to do whatever I can do to make sure it's a great introduction for you and yours. And I'll be sure to let you know when Happy Sheep's out! Cheers, Minty Hi Liz,

Games are a bit limited for this region and I have yet to know of any game players in Alexandra/Clyde/Roxburgh/Cromwell. Suppose there are some in Queenstown but that is a quite a distance for weekly or fortnightly meetings for me. I used websites to purchase but is new as yet. I'll watch this site.
