But the Vinje-Bush family took it one step further . Clint tasked his then 9-year-old daughter to help him create a new card game for the family to play . That game , named Stack The Scoops by their then 6-year-old son , turned out to be so fun , they knew they had to share it with others . Today , Stack The Scoops is an award-winning card game enjoyed by hundreds of families around the world . “ One of the things we like about Stack The Scoops is that families can either play it together during family time , or have their kids play on their own ,” says Astrid , “ it ’ s also fun and doesn ’ t rely on screens .” Targeted towards 5- to 10-year-olds , Stack The Scoops encourages players to build sets of ice cream by matching base , scoop , and topping cards . Players collect points depending on the card combination and can double or triple their score with double scoop or triple scoop cards . Game play is easy enough for young children to understand , yet still engaging for older players too . And the incorporation of simple math into the game play reassures parents that kids are learning while they ’ re playing . A graphic designer by training , Clint tapped into his creative side to develop the whimsical designs of Stack The Scoops . “ We really wanted the cards to be fun and appealing to kids ,” he explains . But the game itself is truly a family collaboration , with every member bringing something to the table . And it ’ s that focus on family time that makes Stack The Scoops so loved by families . vibugo . com hello @ vibugo . com | ( 509 ) 240-9677
