Customer Reviews

Great First Game
I was looking for a good beginner board game so we could start family game night with our 3 year old and this game is great. It is very simple and does not take too long to play a round: pull the lever and one piece shoots out of the castle (fun) and if it matches your game board you keep it and if not you put it back in the castle top. Great first game, box says 3+ but 2 year olds could easily play this game with supervision. I think it is a bit overpriced, but there is not really a great selection of easy beginner games available. (We have the Lucky Ducks game - fun but noisy! And we have Hi Ho Cherry-O - fun but 40 tiny plastic cherries!)

Great DURABLE Game for Little Ones
My 4 year old daughter got this for Christmas. There are four gingerbread men cardboard cards (heavyweight cardboard too). Each gingerbread has a different combination of four shape indentations (One might have an oval, octagon, rectangle and star, while another might have a flower, star, triangle, and rectangle). The game comes with a bunch of plastic (thick - heavy duty) shapes. Basically, you put all the shapes in the chimney of the castle. In turn, each player pulls the candy cane lever. When you pull the lever, a shape comes out. If it matches a shape that your gingerbread needs, you put it on your gingerbread. If it doesn't, you put it back in the chimney. Either way, it's the next player's turn. The first player to get all the shapes they need wins. This is very good if your child is learning colors and shapes. My daughter already knows colors, shapes, etc., but she has a hard time losing. This is great for that too. The game goes fast and winning/losing is very cut and dry. We can play several times in a row. Some times she wins, some times she loses.

Nice, but quickly outgrown
My 3 year old twins got this for their birthday. They really like shooting out the pieces and holding the pieces, they have a nice feel. The game itself is much too easy for them, they know these shapes well. I'm afraid the pieces will be be lost or they will quickly outgrow this game. It definitely fits their attention span though, one game lasts about 5 minutes the speed they play it at.
