Comes with an instruction books– that you will need to read carefully. You score points for, amongst other things, connecting up all your cities and having the longest continuous track.
What it is: A game where you use the board to try to build railway tracks across Europe to connect the cities you draw (as cards) at the beginning. It is difficult enough for older children and adults to be challenged by the puzzles but not too hard (on the easier level) for little ones to be put off.”Īvailable at: Amazon, Rules of Play and Thames & KosmosĪge suitability: 8+ | Best for age: 10+ | Batteries: NoneĪwards: Bronze, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2021
His mum Janet added, “I think this will become a firm family favourite in our house and last for many, many years. “I like the animals and winning lots of treasure like a pirate!” said our child tester Zachary, 5. Our child testers all grasped the rules quickly and got very excited when the timer was turned over and they started looking for the right animal tiles. Why we love it: This junior version of the adult game is well pitched at the 5+ age range, and we like that different players can select puzzle boards with different levels of difficulty. Comes with 50 double-sided puzzle boards (with varying levels of difficulties), an hourglass timer, animal tiles and plastic gems. What it is: A game where each player gets a puzzle board and races everyone else – and the timer – to place the correctly shaped animal tiles on their board, complete their puzzle and win ‘jewels’. Worth noting that, though it’s marked for ages 8+, we think younger children would enjoy playing this too – as long as an adult is around to keep a watchful eye on all the little pieces.Īge suitability: 5+ | Best for age: 5+ | Batteries: NoneĪwards: Silver, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2021 Why we love it: The premise of this game is simple but it’s good fun– and can get pretty competitive! Our child tester Maisie, 8, said, “I would definitely recommend it for other families as it is a fun game for all ages. I like finding the different objects as quickly as possible and I like that some of the objects have different rules like scoring 2 points or having your hand in the sock to start with.” We also like that you can add to the socks some objects of your own – there are blank spaces on the board to write them down. Comes with 2 big socks, 60 objects, a spinner, 2 scoring counters and instructions.
