I only bought this game because it was a "different" type of board game and was on sale for a great price. We sure got our money worth. This game was a huge hit with the family. Everyone laughs as the beavers get taken down the board. Not educational at all, but very fun. Would recommend this game to anyone. Actually I bought a second to put back for a quick gift.

The case is wonderful. I wish all games stored this easily.

Bought this last year for my 8 year old and 5 year old boys -- this is a great game that everyone can play...not educational, but cute and fun... no matter how many times you play, it's still adorable when the beavers get swept up by the log. Easy premise that small kids can master, and entertaining to keep adults participating. Takes 15 minutes tops, with 4 people, so it makes a great quick game, or best of 3,5,7, etc.

This is a cute game that had the whole family laughing! It is really clever and different than most board games with static pieces...these little beavers are a riot as they tumble down the board picked up by the magnetic log.

Wherever we placed the beavers on the game board the log did not pick them up. My kids (4 and2)like anything with a magnet so they play with the log and beavers but as far as the game goes we get much more out of candy land

I got this game for my family for Christmas. My son is 4 years old and loves to play games. I thought it looked like fun and wasn't expecting a whole lot. We love this game! It goes by quickly which for young kids is good - so they don't get too wild or lose interested. There are ways to move forward, move back, be safe, etc. I am going to have to buy some more of these to give as gifts. Definitely a great game for the whole family!

Cute game for my 5 year old. However, the beavers don't get caught by the log most of the time. A bit frustrating and not as much fun as it could be.

My 4.5 year old LOVES this game and my 2.5 year old likes it too. They love the excitement and anticipation of seeing if the log will take any beavers. I love that this game only has a few pieces to tidy up and keep track of...2 dice, 4 beavers, the case and log = 8 pieces in total.

Sure, the boys love Candyland, and they love Hi-Ho-Cherry-O, but they also love tossing the cards and cherries EVERYWHERE, which I don't love so much. This game works for all of us!

Another nice thing is that this game is easy to explain to his friends so they can start playing right away. And wow do they ever laugh and squeal with delight whenever a beaver gets picked up and spun down to the bottom.

This is a fun game my son likes the logging shows and when I saw this I thought it would be a cute game ...not something he wants to play over and over but still lots of fun for a change from Candyland.

Bought this game for my grandchildren, ages 5 & 7 and both have enjoyed it. Not educational, but lot of fun. It is different from the typical board game, so a great change. Comes in a quality case for storage so easy not to lost pieces.

My son isn't one of the kids who really enjoy board games, but he LOVES this game! It's funny to see the beavers rolling along with the log (even though that means starting all over at square one.)! I got this game at a very good price, and I'd strongly recommend this as a gift for any kid and any adult who's a kid at heart. :)
