Porth Games and T-Shirts

Available to buy now from the MAGA office

Games Box
The games box contains two games: a board game and a memory game. The board game is a race around the streets of Porth to see who will be the first to get themselves an ice cream and win the game. Along the way there are various obstacles, such as heavy summer traffic, as well as ways to jump ahead, for example by 
stopping off at the school to learn some Cornish!

The memory game involves two sets of picture cards, one in Cornish and one in English, which are spread out face down on a table top. Players have to try to remember where the matching pairs of cards are so that they can 
collect as many matching pairs as possible to win the game.

The games box costs £14.99 and contains both games.

T-shirts
