Tiger-iffic!

This elective gives you more chances to invent or play some games. Some of the games can be played without other players, some will need more players but only one person can win, and some will have a team that wins. After you play several different games, tell Akela and the members of your den what you liked best about each kind of game and what you think makes a good game.

Rationale for Adventure
