Great game. We gave this as a gift for Christmas also and the five year-old recipient really liked it, too. We set up our tent in the living room, make popcorn, and play Zingo. We also play as a family. She loves to deal herself the tiles and gets so excited when she matches one with an image on her Zingo card. My four year-old got this for Christmas and really enjoys it. She can easily play it with friends her age as well, so if she has a play date, it can keep them busy for a good 10 minutes per game. It's fun.
My kids (2 & 5) LOVE it, as well as every other child to come into our home. This game has helped us create some great family memories. I think we have played this game well over 200 times in the 3 months we've had it. We've had kids up to ages 10 play it and love it every bit as the younger ones.
We received this as a Christmas gift and have played it a lot - it's easy and quick and we like to take turns being the "dealer" - our four-year-old loves to hand out the cards and check to see who's winning. If you like this, you will also like Smatch from the same company, and vice-versa.
We are really glad we got it. Some of the winning is left to chance so the younger ones have an opportunity to win. My kids love this. I have a 3.5 year old and a 5.5 year old and they both play this game constantly. This game also is reasonibly pleasant for adults.
I am thinking of trying the Curious George Beach Discovery game next. The only drawback is the pieces--they are easily lost if you are not vigilant about watching the kids with them. and give her the win. Other games the baby can play (with little guidance or assistance): Hiss, Uno Moo, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. We got this game around Christmas (a couple of months ago) and it has been a hit ever since.
My son could play Memory at her age, so we assumed that she would be able to as well (she hit all of her milestones before he did), but she wasn't ready for it (even playing with only half the tiles) so we will wait to reintroduce that game when she is 3 years old. We all really like this game, but the kids can also play it by themselves. The baby is not good at shouting for the zingo pieces by name, or yelling Zingo. I am 35, my DH is 28, and my kids are aged 5 years and 2 years (29) months. but she grabs the pieces she needs and if her board is filled first we prompt her to say Zingo.
This was worth the money spent.
