I asked for this for my daughter for Christmas after seeing good reviews on Amazon. I wasn't disappointed. This game is advertised from 6-8 which personally I think is slightly too old. My daughter is almost 5 and was hooked right from the beginning. She spent an hour or more working her way through the cards - and she was much less inclined to give up than I was! Since then this is a game she returns to over and over again and I am definitely planning to take it with us on a long haul flight later in the year. Some of the cards are too hard for her at the moment but I'm sure she'll grow into them in the next year or so. This is a very educational game - encouraging them to think around a problem and also increasing spacial intelligence - but ... Read More:

I ordered this for my niece (6) who is mad about HSM as a stocking filler, although I had to test it out 1st :) its very cool, with up-to-date answers. I know she will love it!

Taboo is basically talking Pictionary. You split into teams, and in each round one member of the team has to describe as many words as possible to his team mates within the time period. But there are some words that are taboo - that you can't say, and these are of course the words that you really want to say. A member of the opposition checks over your shoulder to make sure you don't slip up.
What this leads to is a fast-moving and at times hilarious game for all the family. It is a game in which age and other things that make a real difference in some more traditional games (like Trivial Pursuit) count for nothing, as what really matters is quick thinking, using words to get round the houses to things.
Although this says age 3 on it, my little boy has mastered it - just before his 2nd birthday!! He absolutely loves it - and so does my daughter who is almost 4! It is made of fairly tough stuff and the pieces are a great size for little hands. Highly recommended!!!

This one was an immediate hit with my son who is just eight. The downside is I am now playing games of Uno every night before going to bed, as his treat. The upside is tactically he is getting very good and has started beating me regularly. It does require even the grown up brain to be in gear, but games last only a few minutes - even a long fought out vicious game is only about fifteen minutes. And you can play it sitting up in bed.

My daughter, now 27, had this game as a small child. She played it constantly from the age of 3 up to about 6 years. It was an absolute favourite and kept her and her little friends amused for hours. It teaches counting in a fun way. I am thrilled to see it is still around and will certainly buy it for my two grandsons when they reach the age of three.
