FAQ

That's for you to decide! The game is intended as a fun, entertaining way to celebrate an arriving child. With that said, I know some grandma's that will stand by these old wives tales and nothing you say will convince them otherwise!

No. Several common, everyday household items such as a spoon, string, stop watch, cups, etc., are needed to perform some of the activities. Each game comes with a list to help players collect the required items. None of these items are hard to come by. Trust us!

Yes! Little Fortunes can be played in 3 ways: 1) Traditional, 2) Accuracy, or 3) School Yard. Traditional is best when primary player is pregnant and the baby's sex is unknown. Accuracy is best when the primary player is pregnant, the baby's sex is known, and players want to test the accuracy of the old wives tales. Schoolyard is best when the primary player is not pregnant, but instead, is looking for an entertaining way to "predict" the sex of their some-day, hypothetical child, while learning about historical folklore!

Little Fortunes is designed for 1 primary player (i.e. the pregnant person) and upwards of 13 support players (i.e. baby shower guests), but it can easily be played privately between just an expecting couple.

The results of the game are recorded on a "Keepsake Card" that uses stickers and there is only one Keepsake Card included with the game. With that said, we sell additional Keepsake Cards on our website, which allows for people to share the game with friends, bring to multiple baby showers, etc.

The game can be played at any stage of pregnancy. In fact, it can even be played if you aren't pregnant and simply want an entertaining way to "predict" the sex of their some-day, hypothetical child, while learning about historical folklore. If you plan on finding out the sex of the baby but want to know what the old wives tales predict before you're told by your doctor, then you should plan on playing the game prior to your 20-week ultrasound.

The game features 13 pregnancy myths, reimagined as fun "tests" that a future mama can carry out with their family and friends. Instructions for each of the 13 tests are listed on individual activity panels. The front of each activity panel includes a stunning illustration (like a Tarot card); the back of each panel lists 4-5 easy-to-follow instructions on how to conduct the test; and the inside of the panel provides a timeline that traces the evolution of the pregnancy myth through history. Each test result indicates a boy or a girl, and the results are recorded on a keepsake card. After all tests are complete, players tally up the "boy" results vs "girl" results. Whichever sex is predicted most often is considered the final prediction.

Absolutely not! The game is intended as a fun, entertaining way to celebrate a pregnancy. If anything, there is more of an educational bent to the game, and players can learn the origins of various pregnancy myths and why these old wives’ tales persist today. Sharing the history of each test creates fun conversations like “I’ve always heard that but never knew why,“ or "oh my grandmother told me that, but it was a little different."
