Lagoon Group Board Games & Card Games

The Dahl estate has partnered with The Lagoon Group to produce a line of Roald Dahl card and board games. You can purchase some of these on Amazon.com.

Have you lost your instructions? It seems like a lot of these games were sold without instruction sheets. I don’t have any of them myself, unfortunately. The manufacturer has made some of the instruction sheets available on their website, or you can email customerservice@areyougame.co.uk.
