We must confess, Sam I am, we all do love Green Eggs and Ham! This bestselling, easy reader classic by Dr. Seuss is a favorite in many families. Now you can play the Green Eggs and Ham Game (on a boat or with a goat, if you wish). The goal is to match picture cards with spaces on the game board, and after three matches you get to taste some green eggs and ham by jumping ahead to the next square featuring that favorite treat. It's a fun and quick-moving game with simple rules that children can easily grasp. Some reading is required. Try it, try it soon we say, you may like it--yes, you may! The Green Eggs and Ham Game comes with a game board, four playing pieces, 15 picture cards, and instructions. A Cat in the Hat Game is also available. Green Eggs and Ham Game is for two to four players. --Marcie Bovetz

1.0 out of 5 stars It's the best game we've never finished!, November 19, 1998

This review is from: Green Eggs and Ham Game (Toy)

Don't frustrate yourself or your kiddies-this is no Candyland! The objective of this game-collect three picture cards, then land on the correct green eggs and ham space-is so elusive that my 4, 5, and 7 year old children have never achieved it (at least not without excessive boredom and an adjustment to the printed rules). It sounds easy enough when you first read it-draw a card each time you land on a picture space; if the card you draw matches or rhymes with the picture space you've landed on, you keep the card. The problem is that there is only one picture card for each picture space on the gameboard. Most of the game is spent landing on the picture space for which the picture card is at the bottom of the draw pile (since it was just drawn in the last turn). Skip the game and go read them the book (again); the connection to the book is the game's only real appeal. END

This review is from: Green Eggs and Ham Game (Toy)

My 5 year old son loves this game.... The cards are to be spread out in the center of the board in a "memory" style fashion, not in a pile! Anyway, rules can always be adapted to fit the energy level and attention span of any child. The game is very educational and fun, when played correctly. Oh, the game is much more fun if the child is familiar with the book, so read the book first before playing the game.

This review is from: Green Eggs and Ham Game (Toy)

We have had this game in the family for about 5 years now. My youngest child started playing it at the age of 3, and 5 years later still loves to play this game with his older brother. It's not complicated, yet requires enough strategy and memory to both keep your interest and be educational. It combines memory, strategy, luck and overall fun. This game will be one of the few that will remain in our closest over the years. Great fun for rainy days and sleepovers. This game, as well as the original book, are ageless! (I must confess it's become one of my favorites as well.)
