| flieger | 10 | | | Wonderful game!
At first, my kids did not care for the game. We had played it once and I got the rules wrong, so they did not enjoy it. Several months later, after the dust settled, I took it out again, played with the correct rules, and had a blast! Both 3yo and 7yo enjoy this one quit a bit. |
| Mr_Dove | 10 | 3 | Yes | my oldest son is 5 years old now. We purchased this for him about a year ago. We've had the chance to play it several times a family and we all really enjoy it. My 5 year old does surprisingly well at remembering where the tiles are located. He sometimes gets on a run and hits 3 or 4 of them in a row.
I would rate it as a very good game for kids and pretty fun for adults too. |
| shawndumas | 10 | 4 | Some | Great components! This is a great small kids game. Pre-teens and teens will hate it. My kids (4 and 6) and I really like this game. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity. |
| SoLove | 10 | | | This, for me, is probably the best childrens game I have played. It is nice that you dont have to "play down" to the kids as the memory aspect of the game keeps everything equal. The game features excellent wooden pieces that are suitable for young children (although watch out the the tail pieces with under-3s)
This game has entertained all of my children for three years now and my wife and I still enjoy playing it with them. |
| Admiral Fisher | 9 | | | This is a fantastic game for younger children. We played it a lot over Christmas. The pieces are beautiful, the theme is amusing (especially with the poo expansion) and kids are well capable of beating adults at it. |
| agenteasy | 9 | | | The idea: Kids play chickens trying to race (dance?) around a track and hop over each other to steal the feathers.
Components: Nice, sturdy, well illustrated cardboard pieces. Big, chunky wood chickens. A nice production.
The way it works: This is a memory game. Each piece of the track has a chicken or egg related picture on it. In the middle of the circle lies a set of upside down tiles with matching pictures. In order for a chicken to move forward, the kid must remember where the picture on the space in front of them is in the upside down tiles. If they remember correctly, they move forward and try again. If they can pass another player, they steal their tail feather. First player to get all the tailfeathers wins.
Comments: Me and my son (3.5) really enjoy this game. The memory aspect makes it equally challenging for me, which keeps things more interesting than most kids games. The fact that there are only 12 tiles to remember means that the game does not last too long, because someone will eventually remember where they all are. Highly recommended. |
| brafman | 9 | | | The dragon tales theme is perfect for this game. I got it for a reasonable price off ebay. You can play with fewer pieces for younger kids (say 3), or with all for slightly older kids. |
| chipster | 9 | 4 | Some | Good kids game. We have the dragon tales version. I don't care for memory games that much, but watching the tension in the kids makes this one fun. |
| flowerkin | 9 | 4 | Yes | Nearly the perfect game for the 3 to 6 set. Both of my girls just absolutely love this game. I bought this game because of the great ratings on this site and don't regret it at all. What a great twist on the classic game of memory. |
| fluffdaddy | 9 | | | A splendid memory game with spectacular bits... the artwork is gorgeous & the wooden chickens are a hoot. The expansion is about to be released in English - which adds two new figures (ducks) and six mounds of "poop". (Yes, my son loves a game where you have to jump over the poop.) |
| Gecko23 | 9 | | | The king of the memory games for the younger set. My youngest routinely beats me and his older siblings.
The bits are fantastic as well. |
| Jatoha | 9 | | | Dragon Tales version: I despise memory games, but I love this one. It feels more like a racing game than memory. Of course, kids can trounce the adults in this, which they love. The only down side for very little kids is that they hate getting passed and having items taken from them. |
| jeremycobert | 9 | | | My wife uses this game in her elementary counseling office. She says it is a great memory game for the younger kids and they love the wooden chicken pieces. She also spices it up with the kids and when they get a match they sing CHA CHA and the kids go wild for it. It is definately a number one choice for the younger kids in Kindergarten and 1st grade. This will also be one that we try with our 4 year old niece at Thanksgiving. |
| jgriffit40 | 9 | 3 | Yes | A great game with younger children. In many ways, they may be better at than the adults. At its heart, its a memory game but has a little more control which is more appealing for adults/older kids. The components are great and my biggest problem was keeping the pieces with the box. |
| knilob | 9 | 4 | Yes | This is a nice memory game that children actually have a chance to beat their parents at. |
| mi_de | 9 | | | Best version of a memory game, challenging for adults and kids. Difficulty can be scaled by removing some of the tiles. About 20 minutes. Box very large for the contents, however. |
| queequeg | 9 | 4 | Yes | This is a nice variant of the Memory game. It has more to it than can you remember where you saw a certain figure last. The memory aspect of the game builds on itself as the more you remember, the easier the game will get as you move along. The chickens are well made and the tiles are great. We love this game in my family. |
| SethHoward | 9 | 4 | Yes | Great game. One of my daughter's all time favorites. Great components and great replayability. Recommend getting the expansion with the ducks and the poo . |
| tbaker | 9 | 3 | Yes | One of the best memory games available, and it works well with a variety of ages. Kids (and adults) are rewarded for paying attention throughout the entire game because watching what other's turn up gives you and edge. The racing aspect is also done well because things start off slowly since nobody knows where anything is and then gradually players are able to make longer and longer moves as they memorize the tiles. The components are fantastic (wooden chickens, extra-thick tiles) and really stand up well to abuse. The expansion makes it even better, although it's a bit pricey for what you get. |
| tiggle | 9 | 3 | Some | This game is visually beautiful and well made. My daughter loved this game for years, but it makes my mind turn into jelly. Oh . . . it hurts to think about it. It's especially bad on the 3rd or 4th game when all the games start blurring together and you have no idea whatsoever what's where, but your 4 year old can run the table on you. Oh, woe! Kids LOVE it!
I think this is a terrific game to teach the babysitter just before I head out the front door. |
