I really waffle between giving this a 3 or 4 star rating. I like the game and the concept, but the material of the pebbles could be improved. I'm nearly 40 years old, and I have a hard time getting some of the stack patterns to work because the pebbles slip on each other. That means my 3 year old doesn't stand a chance at completing some of them. I really wish the pebble were made from food grade silicone, as that material tends to have some natural grippy texture to it. I think that would make it easier for younger kids to complete the patterns with limited frustrations. In addition, the pattern cards are often difficult to understand, especially if it's a stacking pattern, because some of the shapes/sizes are very similar and you can't always tell in which order they need to go.
As it is, my daughter doesn't willingly play with this because she does get frustrated with it. It has the be the only option I've brought along, and even then it doesn't hold her attention for long.
