This game is fun. Great colors and artwork. A little hard to follow for young kids at first but ok once you get the hang of it.

I like the Fancy Nancy concept as the books introduce new words into kids' vocabulary. But this game is just a bit too confusing for younger children (under 5) and not very interesting for those much older. The whole idea is to roll the die to flip all 5 color coded flaps and reveal a 'fancy' bedroom. So, the underlying value isn't new vocabulary here (a missed opportunity)- but rather consumerism. However, before you can lift a flap, first you need to put down one kind of card, then wait your turn again, so you can put down another kind of card (if you have it), before you can roll the die. If you don't have the right card- there's nothing to do. Also, there are cards that allow one child to stop another child from ever getting to the point where you can place down an 'accessorize' card and get to roll the die and lift a flap (the 'oops' card), which is just asking for trouble with young kids. Sometimes you end up with only 'Ooops' cards in your hand and you have no choice but to kill another kid's hand by giving them the 'oops'.

I really thought this was a poorly thought out game- but perhaps at 45, I'm just no fun. However, my 5 year old daughter didn't think much of it either. To add to that, the directions are a bit confusing.

Personally, I would change the rules of the game to simplify things. Just pick a card, if you get the right card you get to roll and lift a flap. If not, next kid's turn. Make up your own rules and have fun.

This toy is not only confusing (as other reviewers indicate) but also poorly made. The spinner broke before even one use. When I wrote to the manufacturer (Briarpatch), they indicated they would be happy to replace the broken piece FOR A FEE. Outrageous. Buy your child a game that is well made and is backed by the maker. Bottom line--Stay away from Briarpatch toys.
