This review is from: Planet Quest Game (Toy)

I'm not sure if it is the beautiful game board, or the fun of getting better at remembering the True-False facts, but my kids (4, 7, 9) love this game and have played it every day since they got it for Christmas. The rating is based on their (esp. the 4 & 7 year olds) enthusiastic reception rather than my own thoughts about the game.

Frankly I'm a bit surprised by their love for this solar system trivia game, although I guess according to classical education models I shouldn't be, since the kids are in the Grammar/Fact Acquisition stage of the Trivium. Anyway, we will probably have to make some of our own cards because the kids are quickly mastering all of the fact cards that were included.

The game does require reading.

This review is from: Planet Quest Game (Toy)

The aim of the game is to collect the full set solar system cards by answering a True/False question about the planet each time you pass a planet or the sun. My four year old loved this as he could easily answer the simpler questions and learnt something new from the more difficult ones. He also liked the idea of hopping from planet to planet.

This review is from: Planet Quest Game (Toy)

My son is a space fan after we read many books about the solar system and milky way for him before sleep. He loves those space things and asked many questions. Well, he is 3.5 years old, and he won't be able to follow the rule to play the board game. However, we use different way to play with him with just imaging and picking for where his spacecraft driving to and then Q&A. He loves it and try to answer all questions and learn new knowledge. The reason not being 5 stars for this board game because of few answers on the Q&A cards aren't 100% accurcy as we learned from professional solar system book.
