I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old so this game is fun for both of them. My 3yr old plays the memory game. My 1yr old likes to open and close the doors. I anticipate that my 3yr old will evenually memorize the cards but I'm pretty sure I could create my own new cards.
1) Trace a game card and cut out new card
2) Place blank card into wooden slot and then draw all the circles onto the card
3) Remove the card then place pairs of stickers over the circles
Voila! A new game card.

This was a great game for the airplane. The kids (4 and 6) had fun with it and the pieces are all attached so they can't be dropped or lost.

This is a delightful, durable memory game that can be played in the car or trailer or at home. My grandchildren all love to get it out and play with it together or alone. The different cards give each child a "favorite" game board. I do wish I could buy more cards, as the children have started memorizing their favorites. Great toy!

I bought this for our road trip to Montana. 14 hours each way including the stops! I have a 5 1/2 and a 3 1/2. Both enjoyed this game in thier own way. My oldest played somewhat appropriately. Youngest just liked flipping the doors and looking at the pictures. They tired of it pretty quick though. Only about 30 minutes of play before it was tossed aside. I plan on using it for other rides in the future since they will only get better at understanding how to play.

My 4 year old has had this game for 2 years and still plays with it in the car. He has memorized most of the matches but still loves it. I have limited patience with it on long car trips because when he flips all the doors closed after playing each game they are SO LOUD. It has woken up his baby brother before, so the rule is usually that the little one needs to be awake when he plays with it. Otherwise it's a great design and very sturdy for a good car toy. (I probably wouldn't take it on a plane, as it's wooden and therefore a bit bulky and heavy, but maybe no more so than a large hardcover book.)

This game is wonderful for my four year old, and my one year old also likes to play with the flipping doors. I agree with other reviewers - I wish there were more inserts to buy, but will follow one reviewer's advice and make my own with stickers in the meantime! :) It is a quality product, made of wood (no plastic!). It is durable and has held up to some roughness over the past year. Love it!

This is a great game for the car. The kids were able to play with it by themselves and together. It's also great for teaching colors, etc. It kept them occupied for quit a while, which is sometimes a challenge on long road trips.

My daughter is 4 years old and has mastered this game superbly. She has learned and memorized every single card within a week. What Melissa & Doug need to do is to add more inserts for purchase. The flipping mechanism works great. I love this product. Wish I could buy more inserts.

I just received this game today and don't know why I expected it to be anything other then all wood. I was hoping to use this for my 2 and 4 year olds in a quiet church setting. I don't think that will work as the wood "doors" will click every time they are closed. But I do expect it will be a lot of fun anyway, in other settings.

My daughter got this for a present when she was five years old. It was wonderful for many hours of play but she quickly memorized where things were on the interchangeable boards.

Overall, the game is very well thought out. It can be played with one or more players but really makes for a great solitaire game for a child. There is a great variety of cards that store inside the game and all the flip tiles are attached with an elastic band.

It is listed as good for ages 5-10 but I believe that many children in this age range may be bored within an hour. I think this is a great idea but really ideal for a child from 2-4. Beyond that, it will not have a lot of lasting play when they learn where all the matches are. A great game for a group of children (preschool or nursery school) because they may come back to it months later.
