(More customer reviews)Summary: An exciting, educational and entertaining game that both children and adults will enjoy. Stimulates visual, verbal, and cognitive skills.
We received this game recently, and I can't believe how good it is! At first glance it's deceptively simple - 24 "pog" sized cardboard disks with pictures on both sides.
The goal is to spread out the pieces and identify pairs that "match." As soon as you find a pair, you call out what it is and then you can take it. The hard part is that you are matching an ITEM not a PICTURE. This means that the pictures are all very different - You may be matching a picture of a toy airplane with a silhouette of an airplane.
If you are familiar with the I Spy books and memory game you will understand how hard this can be. I played with our two daughters and was afraid that the 6-1/2 year old would dominate the 4 year old, but quickly found that after a brief (~3-4 rounds) they both often were faster in finding matches than I was!
Two minor complaints - One, the "counter" devices are rather flimsy and after two days I've already had to fix/reinforce them with scotch tape. These aren't really central to the play and you can easily keep track of score with pennies or the like. Two, they should punch the "pogs" out of the cardboard completely. It was clear that I was going to tear the image on on of these so I ended up using an Exacto knife to separate it cleanly.
