Skillmatics Trump Card Game - Rank Up Animals, Fun & Fast-paced Game of Memory, Perfect for Family Game Night, Gifts for Ages 7 Years and Up

It is really a good game for 7 years and above children. Very interesting for the children as they get to know some interesting facts about different countries..

Size is very small not as depicted in picture.

The media could not be loaded. This is a lovely game with a good quality cards. The pictures and colours are nice, easy to use and play. Thank you

What was good:• Straight forward: very easy to explain to kids… and adults.• Familiar: most kids know the “war” card game. This adds a few things that make it a bit more than just a random card flipping game. Each player (usually) has a choice of which one of two cards to play. Rather than just a single comparison of card rank, the player leading the turn gets to choose which one of four categories will be compared.• Reasonable playing time: it takes us about 30 minutes to play this game. Because it is “once thru the deck” there is a predictable end. Better in comparison to (the much older card games) “war” and “Top Trumps” where the game continues until one player has all the cards. Those can be much longer.• Small package: easy to transport, with cards that are a good size for small hands to hold.So, what’s so-so or not good:• It does take a little bit of time to set up the game, as the entire deck of 100 cards is dealt out to the players. I suppose two players could be dealing half the deck at the same time, since each player is supposed to have two draw card piles in front of them. Not an official rule but cuts down on the set up time.• This can be a bit random… since it is once thru the deck and not much choice in cards to play. But it is short.• After a few plays this game may get stale and be less interesting to the kids. I will post an update if our two grandsons lose interest quickly. On the other hand, young kids who like animals may latch onto this and ask to play more.This is good for shorter casual games at home or when traveling with younger kids and not a lot of space.This review is for the “Skillmatics Trump Card Game - Rank Up Animals, Fun & Fast-paced Game of Memory …” on Amazon currently.Note, the version I selected is the “Amazing Animals” topic deck.

Our family enjoys most of the Skillmatics line of products. Their Guess in 10 series is often enjoyed in our home. Since then, Skillmatics has had an explosion of new products, but some we don't love as much. Previously to testing out this game, we had tested another game and wrote a review explaining the changes in detail. I was excited to think the game was redone, but it seems to have some similar features we were not fond of. All of us don't particularly like the 20 seconds to memorize. Perhaps because my family is neurodivergent, this feature does not work well for us. The cards and real-life photographs are engaging, and I would say to modify the game to how it fits your family best.
