The pet shop
Practice days buy cats, cats trade up to bears, bears to tigers, and so on up to a unicorn. Built with children in mind.
Something to save up for
A pet means more to a child than a streak counter. The shop turns coins into pets, and pets into bigger pets, so a week of practice becomes something a child can see and point at.
The ladder
- A cat costs 7 coins, about a week of practice.
- 5 cats make a bear.
- 3 bears make a tiger.
- 2 tigers make a dragon.
- 2 dragons make a unicorn.
Each step is a goal in itself, and the unicorn takes a long time to save up for.
Fair rules
Selling a pet refunds its full price, so changing your mind costs nothing. Pets also keep their value: a missed day takes a coin from the balance, never a pet.
For the youngest players, combine the shop with Baby mode, which has big buttons and cat rewards.
