A NEW VERSION TO A CLASSIC! EXCELLENT GAME!
I purchased this for my 4-year-old. I wasn't too sure what to expect and I didn't know if this was going to be like the classic game. This game consists of a mini-castle, 4 gingerbread boards, and hard thick plastic playing peices with four shapes. There is no batteries required. The mini-castle is well built and has a candy cane lever that you pull for the peices to come out. To start, everyone (1-4 players) gets a gingerbread man card. The first player pulls the lever and a peice comes out of the bottom. If they have that peice (such as a red circle) they get to place it on their card. If they don't, it goes back in the castle. There is a circle opening at the top that you place the peice back into. The peices MUST be put back flat or they will get jammed. Then, the play continues until the winner gets their 4 peices for their card. It's REALLY cute! My son even likes to play by himself. I was hesitant at first to buy this, but if you can catch it a good price GO FOR IT!
Easy, Educational, Quick game
I've had this game for over 1 yr now and I have a 3 yr old girl and a 7 yr old boy and this game has been a mainstay of "game night". It is easy to set up and fast paced, so my 3 yr old doesn't get bored with it. It is easily her favorite game and one her brother will actually play with her. It's bright, durable and teaches colors, shapes and counting (you have 3 shapes and still need 1 more to win!!). One person had reviewed that there was nowhere to store the pieces, but that's one of the best things about this game is that everything stores right on the main "castle". The game pieces all fit in the chimney looking chute that the pieces come out of when you pull the handle and the playing cards have a slot in back of the castle where they sit nicely. Over 1 year and amazingly, we still have all of the pieces. My kids pull the handle pretty roughly to get their next game piece out and I'm really surprised that it's so sturdy and hasn't broken yet. Overall, a GREAT bargain and a surprisingly big hit with my kids! I would definately recommend this game.
Great Game
This is a great game - not only because its easy to use, teaches color, shape, taking turns and gets the family playing together - but, my 3 and 5 year old can also play BY THEMSELVES!! (which is a nice little break every once in a while for mom!(
