Editorial Review

Kids can follow the python from head to tail--and learn new words along the path--in this simple phonics board game. The four animal game pieces (a lion, a kangaroo, an elephant, and a koala bear) are made from rubber and fit nicely on top of a pencil when not in use. Players roll the four special word-ending dice and try to use them with the letters on the board to create whole words. If a player lands on a Toucan Space, he or she gets to roll twice. The player with the most words wins. The board measures 17 by 12 inches. --Richard Farr

This review is from: Learning Resources - Python Path�  Word-Ending Game (Toy)

The concept for this game is great for teaching kids word recognition. However, the game does not include ANY instructions as to how to play, leaving parents and kids guessing as to the rules. I would recommend the game if it came with instructions for play (like every other board game does) or even had instructions online that were easily found. I can't recommend it, though, because after searching for over half an hour, all I came up with were links to buy the game. I don't want to buy it; I just want instructions!!!
