"Bored Out of Our Minds!!"

I bought this for an RV trip we just went on along with other games. We played this one night and it goes soooooooooo slow. You must wait for each person to finish, my daughter and son (14 and 10) were much better at it, husband and I (in our 30's) were stumped. It was very boring for the adults and kids. My husband was so bored and got cranky because of it, he went to bed. Thankfully we had other games that we enjoyed!! Phew.
It was loads of fun. The five year old beat his older sister and the old folks came in last. The little girls begged to play over and over. Great idea. This one builds confidence

We purchased Stare Jr. for our son for Christmas. It was suggested by the occupational therapist at his school. We really like the game. We play it together as a family and it builds memory and concentration without even knowing it. Thumbs up from our family. : )
"Great game and fun"

I bought this for my 6 yr old granddaughter. Well, we've had more fun staring at the cards and trying to remember if the dog was looking at the boy or the bone, etc. She liked working the 30 second hourglass timer, too. It's good for memory for kids and adults and it is a quick game. My granddaughter also could read most of the cards on the back for the questions... though she'd ask a word now and then. I like the cards, too, old cartoons and Norman Rockwell paintings. I find I'm noticing things more after playing the game off and on for a few days. Enough cards and questions that it won't get "old" soon.
"Simple and appealing, a rare find for my autistic 8 year old"
I have bought a collection of toys and games that look like a "maybe...", but complicated rules, busy gameboard, other and ... my son has no interest. Autistic children are often visual learners, and that is my son's case. Here he loves everything: looking at a picture and talking about it (adaptation of mine, otherwise he does not quite pay attention to the details), the sand timer, rolling a die, and moving around a gameboard...and he just loves that smiley face. It's as if this was all specially made for autistic kids!
--now for "typical" children: this is a pure visual memory game, with no strategy. There is a die, the playing time is quick enough, and the pictures are mostly old fashioned - quite charming, actually. No batteries.
The only drawback: like Trivial Pursuit, even though there are many cards, after a while players will have memorized most of the cards and the questions...
"Teaches great skill disguised as a game"

I play this with my 6yr old and my 4yr old. It is wonderful at helping them to learn how to observe and remember what they observed. Great thinking skills. I can't believe that my 6 yr old has done better than me many times. I have noticed my children feel very rewarded playing this game. They have to look and remember in order to move ahead, it is not up to chance. Chance can be fun but I think they really like feeling the accomplishment of achieving by thier own merrits and not just getting lucky with a roll of the dice, etc.
