At first, the instructions seemed a bit complex. But once game play was under way, the game moved fast. Very fun. Great way for kids to learn to think quickly while having fun.

We played this with my 8yo and 10yo yesterday for the first time. It's a great game. Both kids loved it, regardless of the ability to multiply/divide. I think it will actually help them learn (yes, my 10yo still struggles with multiplication facts). The colors on the dots for the multiplication are actually pretty ingenious. I don't know if we'll use them as intended, but it's a really neat concept. I like that the prime numbers are red - they'll stick out more in memory. All in all a fun game and everyone enjoys it. Will definitely play more.  The documentation/rules booklet is extremely well written. Very clear instructions and FAQs that actually are FAQs when playing.

This book was a lot more fun for my kids than I expected it to be.  Both my 2 year old and 4 year old love doing what the book says "press gently on the yellow button" and seeing the "result" on the next page (my 2YO yells "Ahhh!").  It would probably be more appropriate for the toddler set learning about cause and effect, recognizing colors and patterns and following directions.

These are fun for the whole family. The kids will ask us the question and we all take turns guessing what the answer is. We use this on long car rides or even sitting around at home. Educational and fun! Only downfall is some of the scratch-off patches didn't fully cover the answers on a few pages. It was only on two pages though, definitely didn't stop me from buying two more books from this series.

This game was a total hit with my 4 1/2-year-old daughter.  It's terrific for improving vocabulary and developing the ability to think quickly.  What sets this game apart from the norm, though, is its "buzzers" which are not actually boring buzzing sounds but the animal sounds you would hear at the farm.  My kids loved that!  Me?  I found them a little bit too loud but solved that problem quickly with some tape on the speakers.

To set up, you should know that you're going to need a whole lot of triple-A batteries for the buzzers.  There are 150 double-sided cards with a mixture of questions and answers, some that are very simple and others requiring a bit more thought and help depending on the ages of those playing.  There can be up to 4 players with a 5th person reading the clues on the cards, or the four players can take turns reading while the others guess.  Players hit their buzzer if they think they know the answer - if they get it correct, they get to keep the card!  The player who gets 10 cards first wins.

As far as age range goes, I've pulled this game out with company and kids ranging from 4 to 13 enjoyed playing together - and I mean REALLY enjoyed it.  There was much giggling and shouting and moo-ing and neigh-ing - it was a riot.  :)  Partly because the kids were having a hard time keeping their answers to themselves before they pressed the buzzers which meant a lot of guessing on my part as to who said it first.  At times it was too hard to figure out who had hit the buzzer first, to me it just sounded like a farm yard full of hungry animals!  But it was really one of the most fun get-togethers we've had and I'll be bringing the game again the next time we visit.  Parents started asking me where I got it, too - it really is cool that kids are learning new things while they play and laugh.

If you're in the market for a good game for parties or playdates, or just a cool family game everyone will appreciate I recommend this one!

(I received this game for review purposes.)

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday as soon as I seen it. I remember using these as a kid and loving them. My daughter was so excited to get it and after I explained how it worked they played with it for a long time. I think its a great way for my kiddos to practice their nouns, verbs and everything.

This is a fantastic way for a school-aged child to learn about birds. It's fun, entertaining, and I was rather chagrined at how much I didn't know!

I love how the author set up the game. When you choose an answer, the kindle lets you know if you were incorrect and gently sends you back for another try. If you're right, it gives a nice blurb of information about the bird so you learn quite a bit.

Each bird is shown with a picture, the questions are thought-provoking and make you want to know the answer. As an adult, I loved it! For a child, it's a really fun way to learn, especially if they are doing it with you.

I loved the book (er... game). It doesn't feel like you're reading a book to learn because it's fun to see if you got the answer right or not! Highly recommended for kids and adults of all ages.

I am addicted to Brain Quest cards.  My daughters, 3 and 5, get such a kick out of them and have learned a great deal. The questions are very age appropriate, but at the same time, challenging enough not to become boring.  The deck comes in a connected, fan-like manner which makes it very easy to go through each card.  This is a great way to expand your child's knowledge with a simple, quick activity.

Pirate vs Pirate is one of those fun games for little ones (K-1 through 3rd grade) that teaches strategic thinking- but is so fun that they won't realize they're "learning."

The board game takes three players. First, each player chooses a certain color of pirate - red, blue or green. The board has a large triangle divided into tiny segments/spaces, and players set up their pirates on each end of the large triangle.  Coins are placed in the center of the board. The goal is to capture the coins and bring them back to your rowboat.

Roll the "bone" die to see who goes first. Then each player rolls the die and moves that many spaces. If you land on a coin, you can take it. You can also take a coin if you pass through the area where the coins are stashed. If you get a gold coin back to your area, you win. If you get 2 silver coins, you also win.

But, this game isn't just about rolling die and moving spaces. Along the way, you may end up moving your pirate to a space where there's another player's pirate. Then you can knock that player's pirate off the board. If that pirate has a coin underneath him, you can take the coin. So there's room for strategic thinking!

Overall, this would be a fun game for little boys, especially. A great game to play with Dad. It would be a fun indoor recess idea, too, for a classroom game collection (three children can play at a time). I purchased Pirate vs Pirate at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. I give the game two thumbs up - the objective and rules are easy for children to understand, and it's fun to "control" your pirate base.

So much fun! I love to do these with my 3 year old. My 6 year old loves them too. The brush isn't great, but the thought put into this product shows.  A great way to practice fine motor skills and color theory.

This game is very engaging and fun to play with children. The age range given for the product is too conservative. My granddaughter is a very advanced 6 year old (reads at the second grade level) and still enjoyed this game. For older children there is the opportunity to learn stratgey, which is certainly a more advanced application than just matching the pictures. I highly recommend it because it teaches good thinking skills if properly guided.

My grandkids love this game. It's great for helping them learn what letter a word starts with.  It gets their minds thinking ahead to what word they will say next.  I love that the cards fit in a compartment right under the game so everything stays together.  Some categories are hard and some are easy, so there is a good combination for each age.

I first heard about this game from a great review by a fellow homeschooling mom. I am so glad we decided to get it. We use this as just same basic logic/critical thinking activities during our school day. My 5 and 3 year old use this and love it. It says that it is for ages  5 and up, but with a little encouragement, my 3 year old can participate. The blocks are made of sturdy colorful plastic. The cards give them lots of different puzzles to make, change and figure out and the game itself comes with 2 different ways to play. I like that there are 2 sets of identical blocks, it makes it easy to play with 2 kids ( or 2 teams even). We haven't gotten to the harder levels yet, but so far this game has been great. I like that it makes learning and thinking so much fun.

Great way to quiz your kids and be a part of their learning.

A total hit!  Bought this to replace an older one (exactly the same, thank you!) that got broken.  Love how it engages kids to think, play, and create!
