About Save the Poor Family
Save a poor family with your choices. On a snowy night, a mother and child shiver in an old house. Snow blows through the window and the fireplace is cold. In each crisis, pick one of three cards. Choose well and the snow stops, a fire is lit, and the frozen room turns warm before your eyes. HOW TO PLAY - Look closely at the scene - Tap one of three cards - A right choice changes the scene - Get 3 to 5 right in a row to clear the stage - Two misses ends the stage.
