This review is from: Dragon Tales Game (Toy)

First the positive- this game is fun for young children. It encourages children to think a little bit as they land on places where they can jump to anywhere on the board. And, the kids do have to put a six piece puzzle together.

Second, the not so positive- this game is not so fun for adults. There are other fun games that both kids and adults can play. This game is also very easy. VERY EASY for a four year old and yet four year olds are what the Dragon Tale game and show is supposed to be geared for, so there is not a good match there in my opinion.

Basically your child will have a game token with one of the Dragon Tale characters on it. You spin a spinner and move your piece that many places. You land on some places where you get to pick a puzzle piece up and some you have to give up a puzzle piece. When you have collected your puzzle pieces together and made your puzzle work, you have won the game. There are only about four spots that provide you the opportunity to pick up a piece or lose a piece. Also, one spot lets you pick up three pieces at once and another spot lets you pick where you want to go on the board. So, depending on how the game goes- it can be over VERY quick or last a long time.

There are some great games out there for young children. Penguin Pat is one we have enjoyed, Memory and others. This one is fine if yoru child LOVES Dragon Tales and will enjoy it because of the show connection. However, there are other games I'd get over this one.

Enjoy.

This review is from: Dragon Tales Game (Toy)

This game was purchased two (2) years ago for my daughter who was 4 yrs. old at the time. She LOVED playing this game! Even now she will still play with it, although it is losing a lot of its challenge due to the fact that she can now very easily match up the pieces. Her younger sister (who is now 4 yrs. old) has been playing it with her big sister since it was purchased. So she's been playing it since she was 2 yrs.old! My younger daughter still enjoys this game very much. It is a very fun way to develope a child's memorization skills. There is no reading and/or counting required to play this game; so in my opinion, it is a good game for a child as young as 2 yrs. old (if they have the attention span!). It is a very fun and enjoyable game. I recommend it for either boys or girls, Dragon Tales fans or not!

3.0 out of 5 stars multi-faceted but not very challenging, January 26, 2004

This review is from: Dragon Tales Game (Toy)

Up to four players can participate in this game. Each has a 6-piece puzzle to complete, and at the start of the game all puzzle pieces are turned upside down in a communal pile; when appropriate, players will choose 1, 2 or 3 pieces and keep those that add to their unique puzzle. Movement is through the use of a spinner, and sometimes players will dance or sing for extra puzzle pieces, or choose a place to "jump to". The strength of the game is that there are a number of skills employed and it is a treat for real Dragon Tales enthusiasts; however, the game is not terribly challenging and will not remain interesting overlong.
