Comment on Sleeping Queens by Cathy Lee

I bought this game last year at your recommendation. My grandchildren, ages 4-10, just love it. It’s their favorite game to play at Grandma’s by far. They love the drama of stealing someone’s queen or putting her to sleep, with the option of blocking with a dragon or magic wand. What’s not to love? The four year old plays with an older partner. I think it’s a bit hard to follow for four.

I bought this quite awhile ago now and I’m just getting to writing a review. Our family loves this game! My son is now 5 and I think we’ve been playing it since he was two. It’s great because it helps with strategy, colors, and shapes, plus a bit of math with keeping score. Our biggest issue was that it took too long to play the game before my kiddo would get tired and want to be done. I fixed this by removing one set of the tiles. The tiles are made of wood which is a bonus for me!

Comment on My First Castle Panic by Lindsay C

Fun cooperative game for our family of 4, kids ages 4&7. Our 4 year old is still getting the hang of the strategy component while our 7 year old practices her patience. They enjoy playing alone together as well. We look forward to graduating to the classic Castle Panic in a few years when our youngest seems ready.

Comment on Spot It! by Lindsay C

Jr Spot It is a family favorite and my kids ages 4 & 7 both enjoy the variety of ways to play. They like to get creative and make up their own versions as well. This game has really enhanced my 4 year old’s focus/attention & observation skills. I have been impressed as he gets faster and faster at spotting and announcing the matches and is quite the contender along with the rest of the family. Great game to travel with also!

Comment on Here, Kitty, Kitty! by Taylor

Our family loves this game, and it’s small enough to take with us on trips. There is some strategy to it, but it’s not too difficult for younger kids. Even the kids’ grandma loves it! After the game is over, my kids like to pretend play with the kittens. They play vet shop, rescue shelter, neighborhood cat detective agency…you name it. Great for all ages!

I bought this when my kids were little. It was a hit from day one! Even though they are 13 and 17 now, Sequence remains in our rotation of games which makes me happy. It’s truly a game for all ages.

This game is deceptively easy, but it requires you to think ahead and build a strategy. With every game we played, I could see my kids learn how to plan ahead better so they could have a chance at winning. These days, they routinely beat me!

Comment on 7 Wonders by Gabriela

My teenager played this at a friend’s house and came home raving about it, so I surprised him with a copy for his birthday. Now our whole family is HOOKED. The genius of this game is that every time you play it, your strategy has to shift based on the hand you’re dealt. So it never gets boring. It’s a family favorite for us!

Comment on Forbidden Desert by Michelle

Michelle

Family games should be fun for everyone! We have five kids, and that is one of the rules of our Friday Family Fun Night. We play a lot of co-op games with our kids — Hoot Owl Hoot and Outfoxed are really fun! We also taught them Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert and Castle Panic. Co-op games are great for teaching kids slowly, as open hands and working together are good.

We went camping and packed this new game we’d gotten for Christmas, and I’m so glad we did. Everyone had a BLAST, even my teenager and my 65-year-old mom. I love that you can play with a big group, and it’s easy to learn.

Comment on Trash Pandas by Tracy

Tracy

Our whole family loves this game! We play with our 10-year-old and 7-year-old, and everyone gets a kick out of the silly card names. It’s easy to learn, quick to set up, and small enough to take along on family trips.

This game is fun, quick to learn, and super easy to teach your child. My 6-year-old loves playing with her grandparents!

Comment on Quiddler Junior by Claire

I play this game with my kindergartener almost every day, usually at my son’s request. The game works on spelling, reading, and math, all in a fun and exciting game. Little does he know he’s actually learning, too!

Comment on Word on the Street Junior by Michelle

Michelle

I’m a mom of three, ages 5, 8, and 10. This game is awesome for all ages! It requires creativity, and the back and forth keeps it exciting. Definitely worth it!

You have such a great way of imparting information and I love your humor! You’ve stated some things in such a concise, clear way that perfectly describes the process my brain goes thru – it’s such a treat to know others out there go thru these thoughts/processes too!
