Game Review:This is a cute little card game. You match colors, numbers of dots, and animal images to make sets, which give you points. It's easy to learn and begin playing, and doesn't require detailed instructions, which is always a good thing! I played it with my son, who is 12, and while we enjoyed it, it seemed a little young for him. I think this would be a great card game for younger children, because it doesn't require reading skills, and the illustrations are colorful and interesting. I would only add that I think the game might be better with more than 2 people, although it can definitely be played with only two. But when my son and I played it, the game was over very quickly, and the person who won, won BIG. The other player really didn't have a chance, and it was a little frustrating for both of us. For that reason, I give it 4 stars out of 5, but basically, this is a decent card game.
