Kindergarten boys in my child's school LOVE these "Busters." Using simple math skills, they do "battle" with each other. Numbers on the bottoms of the plastic figures relate to the cards that come with them. Kids love them so much they don't even realize they are doing simple math (addition and subtraction) in order to play.

Too simple for older kids, but just right for the younger crowd.

I completely agree with the other reviews but there are a couple of points that people should know.

There were 4 2-packs, 1 10-pack, and 2 4-packs released along with he "arena" that means that if you look on the back of the package you will see several figures that have not been and will not be released. Kind of dissapointing to know that you can't get awesome figures like the winged snake.

Also several of the figures are just repaints, why they chose to do repaints when they have unused molds laying around is anybody's guess.

Overlooking that this is a great game for young kids and could eventually lead to more complicated, involved games you can play with your kid. Settlers of Catan is great for when they get a little older. ^_~

My children and I really enjoy playing with the Number Busters game. My sons are 3 and 4, and are usually bored very easily when we try to do anything "educational." Because they thought they were playing with action figures, it was easy for me to sit down with them and play while actually teaching them basic number skills. It was a great game for us to play together and now I can't get them to let go of the figures.

My son enjoys these although much prefers to use them as individual action figures, versus the game they were intended to be used as.

I bought this for my nephew who just turned 3. He loved the little figures and was matching them to the poster provided, sorting them by the numbers on their feet, putting them in color order, etc. Great educational toy!!!
