(More customer reviews)If you have lots of kids who are all in the 3rd to 5th grade and LOVE animals and know a lot of trivia and facts about animals, they will enjoy this game. However if you have younger kids and adults want to play, it's not that much fun.
The problem is they should have divided out the questions for pre-1st, 2nd to 4th, and then adults so it's more fun for everyone but they didn't and the questions are total random in their degree of difficulty from questions about animal size comparison to invertibrates ... questions that a 5-year old will not understand to ones that adults would find boring.
6 people can play, you pick an animal card to represent you, roll the die - land on paw prints to answer questions. If you land on a "wild" space, you can challenge another player - again, what might be okay for 9-years old playing each other - it's difficult for an adult to play - you going to challenge a 6-year old on animal trivia and if they lose, they lose some of their card points? How exactly are you going to feel there? What kind of family celebrates an adult triumphing over a kid and takes part of their points/cards away?
Plus the cards are hard to earn, after you answer a question right, you turn over three of the square pieces with animal photos and if it's a match, you keep them (of course, you have to pay attention to others turning over cards to remember the match) but again, unless all the players are about 8-9 years old, it's unfair for adults to challenge or take away points from kids - what's the fun in that? It's one thing if you roll a dice and you lose something or by landing in a square but to have an adult ask a kid a question about gestation and shout WRONG - I'll take away your hard earned cards and points? So, unless you have 6 kids all about the same age playing this, this is NOT a game families or anyone with younger than 6 yar old kids can play without it resorting to hurt feelings.
So, while the board is nicely manuafactured and it's fine if you have 4-6 kids the same age who can challenge each other and if they all like animals, it's NOT a game families can actually play along without lots of hurt feelings ... plus the inherent randomness and wide degrees of difficulty in the questions.
They need to go back and rethink this. The questions are fine but divide and color code by age ... then just simply have them travel around the board so they head away from storms and towards food or something - anything is better than designing a game where adults can shout to a 4-year old - ha-ha, you're wrong - give me your animal pieces! Games shoudl encourage togetherness within a family and not mock mental acuity of a 4-year old - it's just wrong.
