Deep in the forest, a curious group of wood-eating animals has decided to stop devouring wood...

    Place the pieces face down in the middle of the table.

    Memorize and flip pieces to gather tools and materials.

  3. Win

Before your first game

Good questions.

Where can I buy the games?

Our games are available from specialist stores and Mercado Libre. Each game has its own selection of retailers; prices, availability, and shipping are determined by each store.

Are the games suitable for the whole family?

Yes. Calcetos and Pélate! are recommended for ages 8 and up. Xilófagos can be enjoyed from age 5 and is a great way to bring younger players to the table.

How long does a game take?

A game of Xilófagos takes around 15 minutes; Calcetos, around 30 minutes; and Pélate!, between 20 and 40 minutes.

Do you ship within Mexico?

Your chosen retailer handles the purchase and delivery. Check its delivery coverage, costs, and estimated arrival times before placing your order.
