This and bird bingo are the ONLY TWO BOARD GAMES we've kept EVER. We have 5 kids. Board games don't have a chance in hell of getting back in the box intact. But we bought bird bingo years ago and we all immediately fell in love with the over the top quality, build, materials, details, simplistic design of this game. I've not so much as seen a single bingo chip on our floor from this game ONCE. After we play it, it's carefully put back under the stairs. It's seriously beautiful. Thick hard board, thick artist quality papers, cute printed canvas bag for drawing chips, the art is top notch, cool facts.... Highly recommend. Highly. .
Our whole family loves this game. It is a great option for families with small children and older children as well...like ours. We also enjoy the Bird Bingo game. Even though they are both essentially the same game the wonderful artwork on the pieces engages all of us and makes the game fun. Quality materials and great craftsmanship. This game will last.
This was a Christmas gift for two grandchildren. They love it! We were visiting and played it MANY times with them. Made very well and should be long lasting! They loved trying to pronounce the names of the BUGS. They are ages 5 and 7. Six would play at a time which was just fine.
Christine Berrie is a very talented illustrator! I was close to buying the Bird Bingo set but was happy to see one about bugs! My children and I love to go hiking and we frequently come across wacky creepy crawlies. Thanks to the beautiful Vermont Nature Guide we are familiar with the birds and the bees (of the forest!) but this game has introduced us to the Fruhstorer's Dobson Fly and Great Yellow Bumble Bee! This game is educational and as any bingo game should be, its fun for all ages.
Shipping time and packaging get our best ratings. The game is of very high quality. Our two precocious, bug-loving grand daughters, ages 3 and 6, loved playing the game. They re-designed the rules a few times but enjoyed it very much and are learning a lot about various insects and creepy-crawlies.
I think this is a great game for 4-year-olds and above. My 4-year-oldgrandson can play this for hours but let his three-year-old brother in on the game and all bets are off.Pros: The photos are very realistic and the cards, gameboard and circles are sturdy enough to withstand some not so gentle hands.Cons: Can bore the pants off a three-year-old boy.
We already have the Bird Bingo, and my 2 boys (5 years old) love it! So it's no surprise that they love this one too. I love the quality of the game itself, especially the illustrations and the board. I would buy other versions of this game if they come out with them. It's fun and educational, and larger (in size and with number of boards and cards) than other bingo sets we've bought. Love it!!!
My insect loving five year old adores this game! We've had it for a few months and still play almost every day, both one-on-one and as a family, and we all enjoy the game. Very pleased that it's printed on high quality, thick, durable card stock as it's going to see lots of use and I think it's going to hold up well.It also includes a "Guide to the Bugs" which gives a brief description of each insect. We usually end up doing further research on at least one of the insects each time we play, so it's a win from an educational perspective also. It's also great for my beginning reader as he has all the insects memorized and is starting to recognize their written names, too. We've recently begun using the calling cards to sort the bugs by order, habitat, and geographic location as extension activities. (We homeschool.)I definitely recommend this game!!!
