Great for All Ages!!
This game is so much fun! I bought this for my 4-year-old daughter to play and she adores it! My daughter has speech delay problems, where communicating is not easy for her, so I bought this game to get her to talk more. The game includes a game board, a spinner, twelve blocks (3 orange, 3 blue, 3 purple, and 3 green), 2 sticks, challenge cards, and a smasher character. You spin the spinners where you can either get a blue, orange block, purple block, orange block, smasher, or challenge. If you get the smasher, the smasher character advances one spot. If you get the challenge, you pick from the challenge, do a small challenge like "Roar like a dinosaur", and then you get to pick whatever color block you want. All the players work together to stack blocks and make a tower. If the smasher gets to spot 9, you have to smash the tower down. For younger kids, flip over the game board and it's divided into the 4 colors of the blocks. Instead of stacking the blocks, you can just match the blocks to their correspondent colors. To move the blocks, you can use the sticks multiple ways. On one end, it has two cylinders sticking out which you can insert into the block, and on the other, it has a soft spongy white part. The white part makes it harder to move the blocks so it's a great challenge for more experienced kids. I love how it makes the opponent a smasher character instead of another human being. I also love how you work together to make a tower. It really emphasizes cooperation. I ask my daughter lots of questions while playing, like "How many blocks are in the tower?", to work on her speech. This game is great for all ages. Little ones and the big ones can play and even I am entertained. I highly recommend this game.

Fun with three levels
This cooperative game was instantly appealing to a 5 year old and 3-1/2 year old (and their grandmother). They played it three times in a row. (Games don't last too long.) No learning curve. You can choose among 3 levels of difficulty. Each player can choose how hard to make it for him or herself, so it's good for siblings. You don't need to know how to read. You don't have the irritating features of games like Candyland or Shoots and Ladders where one bad spin sends you back to the beginning. There are silly challenges to do like "roar like a dinosaur" or "stand on one foot" while building a stack of blocks. I thought they would find these lame, but they loved them. If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to add more "challenge cards" of your own, with other silly actions.

Kids of all ages love it!
I am a speech language pathologist and I am always looking for new games for the kids, and to be honest, for me! This is a great game. The kids love it! I have played it with kids from 4 to 9 years old so far. The kids were literally jumping and squealing with excitement. This is a great company and have more of their games in my cart for the next paycheck.

Fun and educational
I bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas. It's great at helping them with their hand-eye coordination and motor skills. As a parent I like that you are playing together to win as a team. It's also just the right amount of time and keeps everyone engaged during the entire game. We own a lot of preschool games, and this is by far our favorite. Perfect for a rainy day, when the kids are out of school, or family game night.

Favorite Peaceable Kingdom Game!
Excellent game! I love all of the peaceable kingdom games since you win through cooperation, but I especially love this one because it involves movement and is different from any other games I’ve seen. I also love how the PK games have different levels, so you can play at least 3 ways and it’s not kicked to the curb as soon as your child masters how to play the first way.

Peacable Kingdom: Stack Up
I bought this for my six grandchildren ages 6-3 to play. The rules of the game are beyond the three year olds but the 4, 5 and 6 have enjoyed to challenge of building the tower, the level of challenge is just right and they enjoy the challenge cards .

4 yr old approved
Super cute game! My 4 yr old (almost 5) absolutely loves games right now and this was no exception. It has varried difficulty levels for different ages. He most likes the middle difficulty right now and absolutely LOVES the challenge cards where you get to do something goofy.
