The rules are simple and straightforward. This game is a perfect fit for kindergartners and up, but it's also very fun for adults too. I love playing cards and board games with kids, but to be perfectly honest some are a bit mind numbing. This game requires the perfect combination of skill and luck to make it fun for the entire family!
We received Word Pirates for my daughter's 6th birthday. Before playing it with her I played it with another adult and we thought it was very fun, but could be potentially a little too challenging (read frustrating) for some emergent readers/spellers. Nonetheless, I played the next day with my daughter. I told her I would help her when/if she needed. Well, she absolutely did not want or need my help! She made a very steady path to the treasure made up entirely of three letter words all on her own and actually beat her old mom fair and square!

This is a fun, educational toy that the kids don't realize is educational. We play it with my 5 year old son, a beginning reader and my 8 year old daughter, a confident reader. It is easier for young kids than Scrabble which is one of my favorite games, but it is also challenging enough for my husband and I to keep it interesting. And despite what you would predict, the grownups rarely win. There is enough chance in the roll of the dice to make it anybody's game. If you want something fun that will also help your children's spelling and vocabulary then this would be my first pick.

Word Pirates is a fresh, new, child friendly spin on Scrabble. Instead of keeping score the person who makes their word bridges to the treasure first wins. My 7 year old became a pro at this very quickly. It's very enjoyable for the entire family. We play several games at one sitting. I would highly recommend this for and child that is struggling with reading or spelling. It has done wonders for my ADHD son.

Overrated
Dicecapades is Scrabble for children. My children were disappointed that the game did not live up to the pirate themed box. There is no pirate game. It's Scrabble. Read more

My seven year old loves anything pirate. This game allows him to be Captain of the ship and he is able to learn those all important spelling words!
