The reviews are right - this one's a winner:
This game will not teach your kids about animals, habitats, or ecology. If anything, the educational aspect is understanding probability. It doesn't matter - this is a great game. Fun, relatively quick, and appropriate for a wide range of ages. It says 8 and up, but any child ~5 who can read - or is playing with someone who can read - can play.
Another great game from Cranium!:
My kids love all of the Cranium games, but I think this one is a favorite with both the kids and the grown ups in the family. Very good game for kids who like games like Parcheesi. Lots of informative about ecology, and really well designed.
Fabulous Game! 6 & 8 yr olds love it!:
Some of the Cranium products are iffy - confusing, little pieces, etc. This one is definitely a hit! Everyone gets to play each turn so it moves quickly. Basic math is involved so it requires thinking and it's just a fun game! You can team up with little ones if needed but no one seems to get bored. The family enjoys it and the kids love to play it with their friends. We've given several copies as gifts and have gotten follow up calls from parents to thank us!
