I really like the games by this company (Gamewright). They have a whole series of short easy to play games and this is one of them. My four year old has been able to play this because it is easy and short and is over before his attention span is over. My eight year old has enjoyed this game and others like it by this company.

I'm not sure how educational it is, but I will say that it does help younger children with visual discrimination which is a prereading skill. Because this is a card game it is somewhat prone to being destroyed by young hands. However, the cards are larger than normal playing cards and very sturdy.

I would not hesitate to buy this game again. Enjoy.

Even my 4 yr old has a blast playing this game with the bigger kids and adults, and it's not too complicated to learn. Match the characters and get rid of all your cards first to win...simple. There is something addictive about this game that even I don't mind playing it over and over with all the kids, and each round only takes a few minutes.

This card game is great. It is easy and the whole family can play - even the little ones. Good quality, beautiful and fun illustrations of the cards. Although it doesn't teach counting, the game is still educational - it developes the skills of matching and thinking fast. It is a fast game and doesn't make you bored. After the kids go to bed, my husband and I go on playing :)

My daughter loves to play this game. Matching funny faces and trying to get rid of your cards first. The pictures are colorful and silly. Its a 10-min game so can be played quickly anywhere. Like many card games it comes in a card box which takes a beating.

This game is go-fish on speed. I discovered it about a year ago and found that the easy matching without turns is just the right thing to occupy me and my daughter. We use it at resturants to kill the time between ordering and getting our food. It takes about 10-15 minutes and is easy enough that your kid has just about the same amount of chance to win as you do.
The only problem is like with any card deck. If you lose a card it may not be too bad but if you loose a more then some matches can be hard to come by. That is why we play with a double deck. Again possibly the most awesome card game ever.

Very simple, but my 7 year old loves it and it is just fun enough for his parents to enjoy it too!

I do LOVE the illustrations, but that's about all I can say for this game. After reading the reviews I was really excited to start playing it with my six year old. It's simple and easy, but neither of us ever gets wig out, we are always left with two or three cards each. (Is that how it's supposed to go?) It's very anti-climatic. I kept coaxing my daughter to keep playing thinking that it was just something we needed to get the hang of, but it was still anti-climatic and frankly boring. From reading the instructions, you're supposed to make matches until someone gets "wig out", neither of us have ever got "wig out". We just make matches or add to existing piles until the cards run out and then write down our points. I can't even get my daughter to play anymore. So for all of you out there who love it, tell me, are we doing something wrong? Is it better with more than 2 players? We tried adjusting the amount of cards we started with and that helped a little. I haven't given up on this game yet, and I'll adjust my rating should our experience ever warrant it, but for now the game is boring and I'm sorry I bought it. So disappointed.

The card game is quick and fun. The cards themselves are a nice quality. They'll stand up to an 8 year old who might treat the cards rough. The pictures are colorful and interesting. As an adult it's a kids game I won't have to force myself to play.

Quick to learn and hard to stop - my 4 year old can beat my butt fair and square and my grand mother loves it, too. Great game that everyone loves. We always give this as a birthday gift and after we show them how easy, boom! It's the hit of the party!

So much fun. We cleaned our entire home because of this game. We played and who ever won got to pick what we did next. My 5 and 7 year olds could beat me and my husband. I love this game.
