Cutest game ever. It's a counting game sort of like Hi-Ho Cherry-O, but way way cuter. My 3 year old granddaughter will just sit and entertain herself with this by herself. It has like 24 rubber bones (nice weight to them) that you scatter onto the board, which is an enclosed sided box that looks like a beach. Each player has a dog bowl which is made of really heavy, heavy cardboard. I doubt you could smash them if you jumped up and down on them, that's how heavy the cardboard is. I digress. It has a double spinner - you spin one of them to determine one of 3 actions to take, lose bones, pick up bones, or swipe a bone. then spin the second spinner, which is attached to the first one, to find out how many bones to get, lose or swipe. When all of the bones are gone from the beach, the person with the most wins. There is a video to watch that explains it better. The dog Shelby is adorable and she works like big tongs and is easy for little hands to grasp. She's a nice size and works well. It's so adorable, and it goes way faster than Hi-Ho Cherry O so you don't mind playing.
I bought this game for my 4 year old nephew as a gift, because he loves his aunt's pug. I thought he'd be excited to have a game about a pug and I was right! It's a very easy game to setup and helped him practice his counting/number skills. Very cute game, very easy to teach to a child, and very easy for him to play. As an adult it is a fun game to play along with him.
My kids love this game, my only complaint is the dog bowls are made out of cardboard, being a game for toddlers, I feel like the bowls won’t withstand my kids playing it often. Other than that they enjoy counting and it has really taught them to take turns. Simple instructions help them and me (as they were eager and excited to play a new game)
Bought this as a birthday gift for my 4 year old. He really enjoys it and asks to play often. Game is easy to understand and my 4 year old picked it up quickly. I think we could have played this even when he was 3. The material of the bones is nice quality. There is some counting especially at the end when you count up all the bones so it can be an early educational tool as well.
I bought this to teach number sense to a few of my students. All of my students enjoy playing, even if they already understand the correlation between a number and its quantity. It is a fun way to learn about numbers. Some children need lots of review and games are a great way to help them put a quantity to a written number.
These are amazing boars games for kids who are just starting to count. It's fun for them to play with adults while using skills they are just starting to use. It's fun for adults to see their kids enjoying playing board games and being able to play autonomously.
