4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from ThinkFun August 7, 2011

Since getting Snack Attack, my kids have been seeking out this game everyday for the last week to play. My 6 and 2 year old and I can "play" together. We helped the little one a bit with the "rules", but she is excited by the food graphics and eager to get a "match". They love having a turn at being "chef" as cooking/good healthy food are a big thing in our household. The wheel is well designed and I love the fact that the token dispenser is also the storage unit when not in game mode. Helps contain the "scattered and lost" pieces of games that make them non-functional after a while. Loads of fun scrambling to see who can call out the snacks and stack fast. (Silliness at its best!)

My only suggestion for improvement would be about some of the snacks depicted. Cupcakes, Ice Cream sundaes and Juice boxes are rarely eaten for snacks in our household and more likely seen as special treats. My 6 year old asked for these as snacks the day we got the game and I needed to explain that these weren't good for snacks because of XYZ...
With the concern of childhood obesity and sugar consumption being a prime suspect, I would enjoy seeing other snacks replace these (even though they do catch the eye/imagination). Maybe muffin, instead of frosted cupcake? Maybe Yogurt parfait with fruit/granola instead of ice cream sundae? Grapes or other fruits instead of Grape Juice?

Another idea would for Thinkfun to sell supplement edition kits to the basic game to keep kids interested over time. (ie., Dinner Attack with Plates/Tokens showing dinner items) Breakfast Attack with eggs/toast/etc.)

Our family is a big fan of ThinkFun and we are excited to have another great educational game in the house that not only entertains, but builds their learning skills as well.

Playing games with my three year old can be trying sometimes. Candyland is so boring and my daughter loses interest right away. With Snack Attack she can spin the wheel and lay out the game chips, then she can make matches quickly and easily. This is a game we've played over and over together. It is fun, well paced and easy to pick up. It is well constructed and unique. There are also two levels of play, easy and challenging so the game can grow with your child's skill level. A definite must have for the little ones.

This is a great game for adults to play with little ones or for kids to play together. It is easy for new players to catch on and allows everyone to play at once- perfect for working on group play skills! Also an easy way to sneak in a conversation about healthy snacking!
