Skillmatics Board Game - Memory Match Animals, Fun & Fast Memory Game for Kids, Preschoolers, Toddlers, Gifts for Boys & Girls Ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

This has quickly become one of my 6 year old's favorite games. There's really two ways to play, and both are pretty fun. The first way: players have a board in front of them, and take turns flipping over tiles trying to match the animal on the tile to the animals on their board. It plays fast, and is much easier for younger players than traditional matching games because they're only trying to track six potential matches at a time (the animals on their card). The second way involves rolling an included die to select a habitat, and then trying to match an animal to that habitat. The art provides visual clues as to which habitat belongs to which animal to help out younger players.Overall the game is very thoughtfully designed, easy to learn, and fun to play. The art is nice, and the quality of the game components is quite high. The player cards are sturdy. The animal "tiles" are thick, finished cardboard, and the habitat die is wood. This is one of those games that will stay in the rotation for quite a while because it's so easy to pick up and play, but its simplicity doesn't detract at all from the fun!

Bought this game for my niece (6yo) and nephew (7yo) to try out. First of all, I love how compact this game is. The box would be easy to throw into a suitcase, backpack, the car. Portability is huge! Right out of the box, the kids (6yo girl and 7yo boy) loved the colorful images. (Sidenote: The tiles are the perfect size for little hands.) It was super easy to get set up and learn how to play - that whole process only took a few minutes. The kids and my sister-in-law started playing, and they loved it! Gameplay was quick, easy and held their attention. This game is perfect for my niece! It was fun to watch her figure out how to play, develop a strategy, really dive into creative problem-solving and memory recall...definitely learning through fun, which every parent wants. My nephew is quite precocious, but I will say 7yo is a little too old for this game. It didn't challenge him very much, but he still had fun. His feedback was he would like a wider variety of animals. Overall, a great addition to your family games and fun for the whole family!

This was purchased for a birthday present for a great granddaughter that lives in an adjoining state. She entered kindergarten this year. Her mother said that the game is loved and she and her younger brother can both play it together. Thank you.

We discovered these cards as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas. This swimming-pool friendly version is just the ticket to prolong the fun in any backyard oasis. Great for adult-kids interactions, including grandparents of little ones like us. To state the obvious, they hold up better by the pool than in it.

We have ages from 2.5 to 8 and we love playing this! So much fun and laughter!

I have a 4 and 5 year old. They both enjoyed playing this game. It has two ways to play, both a spin on the classic memory. One is finding and filling up your board, the other is finding animals based on the dice roll. As a parent I loved having something a little different then the typical memory game. For my kids, it has become one of their favorites.

This is my 3 year olds favorite game! The cards are thick & sturdy so the game holds up well. I love that its a little different than traditional memory match and there’s two ways to play. This game would make a perfect gift for a child who loves to play games.

My kids (4, 5 and 7) and I all really enjoyed this game, a few different ways to play it and I love that they can play it individually also!
