| Admiral Fisher | 10 | | | Superb game for the kids. One of the best out there. Theres memory and strategy in it - and a whole chunk of luck. Above all, its a lot of fun! |
| fsumarc | 9 | 5 | Yes | A memory game with some basic dice rolling movement strategy. The theme definately grabs the little ones attentions. And since their memory is usually a little sharper than ours, well... |
| sosullivan | 9 | | | They will beat you every time, since their memories are better than yours! Good for their self esteem! |
| tiggle | 9 | 5 | Some | This is one of my 8-yr-old daughter's favorite games. I like it, too, despite not being a fan of memory games. We do have to tweak the rule that says you can stay at the castle gate and keep guessing where the treasure is turn after turn or whoever gets there first can win the whole game without the other player even having a chance. Still, that's a simple adjustment to a game that has been fun for my daughter for 3 years now at least. |
| 1wif | 8 | 5 | Some | Can be a bit long but the theme is fun and it plays really well as a family game. |
| alkaiser | 8 | 6 | Some | Nice memory game with a roll and move mechanism so you can get younger kids reinforcing their counting/planning skills. The memory element evens this game out when played against adults since while they have better planning skills the kids have better memory. You can modify the game to work with younger kids by just giving each kid a stack of cards and having them move around until they find the items assigned to them. The game can then be used to teach younger kids basic counting. |
| BaronsGM | 8 | | | Very good kids game, another one where kids can compete with adults. Attractive bits are appealing (little plastic conifer trees hide the treasures). |
| davebo | 8 | | | Kids like it. It has a theme that is appealing to girls, which is unique. Good for kids 6 and up. Nice looking board. Teaches memory skills. |

| Roger Yim | 8 | | | Classic roll-and-move memory game. Nicely illustrated and with high-quality components. It is a treasure hunt for younger kids, while the older ones might get into the bluffing element. Adults like it too. |
| sevorges | 8 | | | Nicely themed memory game. The attractive theme draws in the kids. The game does offer a few options to choose from, even though it is dice dependent, and can be played in a nasty fashion that would appeal to adults although a lot of adults are put off by the theme and the fact that it is essentially a memory game. |

| Zopper | 8 | | | One of the best memory variants. It`s roll-and-move combined with some luck and memory elements. The images to remember are all taken of old fairy tales and you can tell the story to each of the symbols presented. The components and graphics of the old Ravensburger editions are absolutely stunning. |
| beezwax | 7 | 7 | Yes | The game really is quite nice but the kids really need to be able to keep a secret in order to make this one work. Disappointment ensues when a secret is revealed and a card is stolen. |
| csjoholm | 7 | | | Very cute memory game. |
| flieger | 7 | 4 | Yes | I rate this game as it pertains to my 3yo, and modified rules.
In order to make it playable with my daughter I came up with the following variant:
Shuffle the cards and set them face down in a single stack. Now flip over 3 or 4 cards (depending on how quickly you want to finish-four cards plays faster).
Now each player takes turns rolling two dice. The player may move up to the value rolled, but does not have to use up all of the rolled value. When the player reaches a tree, he may stop to look under it. This ends his turn. If the tree matches one of the face-up cards, the player may take it and put it in front of him. The tree is then taken out of the game (to make it more difficult, you may leave the tree where it is).
When a card is taken, draw a new one from the face-down stack, so that there are always 3(4) cards face up on the table.
Now play continues that way. When all the cards have been taken, the player with the most cards wins.
My daughter loves the game the way we play it. For me it's not a bad diversion.
The components are, of course top notch, and add to the feel of the game. |
| Randy Cox | 7 | | | Cute game. I have not yet played it with children under the age of about 10, so I do not know if it works for the younger set. |
| Ed the Red | 6 | | | An OK game, the kids' better memories are nicely balanced by the adults' better strategy so games tend to be close. |
| The Unbeliever | 6 | 6 | Yes | An OK memory game. The kids will play it occasionally, but they never request it. |
| shumyum | 5 | | | My twins (5 y.o.) simply have not taken to it and i do not know why (a little boring, I guess). I will try again when they get older. |
