Players join Uncle Wiggily on his adventure by drawing cards, following the simple rhymes and moving Uncle Wiggily. Cards also feature numbers and symbols, so children who cannot read will still be able to play.
The American writer Howard R. Garis created the character "Uncle Wiggily Longears" for a children's book in 1910. The game is a race style game where the first player to reach Dr. Possum's house, wins the game!
