To set up the game, snap one treasure into the bottom of each tree and place the trees where indicated on the game board. Choose your playing piece and place in near the village on the game board, which serves as the starting area. The king's castle reveals the treasures you must search for throughout the forest. Roll the die to determine the distance you move, making your ways to the trees to see what treasures are hidden under them. When you reach a tree, you can look under it, making sure the other players don't see what you've found. Once you've found the treasure the king has requested, make your way to the castle so that you can announce where it is. If you're right, you continue on your journey for the next treasure. If you're wrong, you must go all the way back to the village and start over. The first player to correctly announce the location of three treasures wins.

Great Game Board This is one of the best game boards that I've ever bought for my son and I bought a lot of them. He wasn't as thrilled as with this game. He just loves searching for the treasure on the enchanted forest and try to outsmart me and others. We could literally play with him for hours. By the way, my son is only [...]. I would recommend this toy to all the parents who is looking for a great game board for your kids.
Thanks a lot to the company who invented this idea!
Editorial ReviewBuilding roads, railroads, and waterways is the object of this cooperative picture-matching game. The 2-inch square tiles have illustrations of the above printed on one side with some railroad stations and harbors, too. Each player draws 10 tiles and sets about matching river to river, road to road and rail to rail. The first to use up all their tiles wins. But this nonreading game is really about cooperation. The different paths and combinations create so many different possibilities that no two paths are alike. --Lynne Sampson
REVIEW
A great matching game I was able to play this with my 4 year old daughter and 13 year old step-daughter. While it is a little challenging for my youngest (the 5 year old designation is probably correct), we all were able to play on somewhat equal footing. We played in a non-competative fashion but I could see how this game has the potential of being very competative with a bunch of adults. I highly recommmend it as a great family game!
Editorial ReviewThe aMAZEing Labyrinth uses a clever board design to create a series of ever-changing mazes that one to four players must move through. The object of the game is for each player to collect as quickly as possible all seven treasures depicted on their individual treasure cards. To add to the challenge, players know what the next treasure is only after they find the one before it. Before each turn, a maze card is pushed into the maze in a strategic place, helping the player make his or her way to the prize. This means that the entire maze shifts and changes on each turn, confounding some and helping others. Players will need to think ahead to choose just the right spot to shift the maze in their favor. This is an excellent game to get lost in. A simpler version can be played by younger children. --Lee Strucker

GameLover As a GameLover, I am always on the lookout for a new one. When we had dinner with some friends recently, they brought out this creative game. We played it twice and I was hooked!
It is a great way to encourage spacial development in the brain. The maze on the game board is constantly moving around and you have to visualize how to find your treasure as the paths change. I love that Ican play it with my 10 yr old nephew or my 80 yr old father. It doesn't take long to play - about 30-45 minutes and every game is different. I wish we could find more games like this!
I had to look for it at several discount stores to no avail. I was happy to find it on Amazon.com.

Great Floor puzzle! I bought this for my 2-1/2 year old daughter. The pieces are well made and very large. She loves puzzles but has only done puzzles that have the picture underneath the pieces. She can do this one with very little help because the pieces are large and she can easily match the animal parts to make the whole picture. She loves doing this puzzle and talking about the different animals. Good quality puzzle.

REVIEW
Excellent product!! My 9-year old daughter and I have had a wonderful experience with this puzzle. She started out using the numbers on the back of the pieces, but I convinced her to use her regular puzzle skills to assemble the globe. We've both learned a thing or two about geography! I chose the Ravensburger brand because of its quality and durability; I wasn't disappointed. I definitely recommend this product to others.

REVIEW
Great challenge Wonderful puzzle, not as easy as it looks, but is not redundant because of the many details in the image. It was a real brain teaser.
2 yrs.& up. Match 12 different bears to each card measuring 3 1/2" wide by 5 1/2" height. The large, extra thick cards are perfect for little hands to work with as they hunt for the pair of bears. Easy rules make it ideal for even the youngest Teddy Bear fan.
REVIEW
Simple idea, super fun! This game features 12 pairs of matching teddy bears on thick, sturdy, basically unbendable cardboard. My 2.5 yo daughter LOVES these bears. You can play a matching/memory game with them, or just use them as an open ended play set. We set the pairs up to live in different houses, visit for tea parties, etc. The pictures are colorful and varied, and we discuss what the bears are wearing, how they are feeling, and so on. Really fun, simple toy that encourages imagination.
Great Puzzle! My husband has Parkinsonism and he likes to put together puzzles to keep his mind sharp and active. He likes the puzzles that are 300 pieces and are larger pieces. They are easier for him to handle and to see when putting the puzzle together. This puzzle was more "grown-up" than most scenes of kittens, etc. Nicer for an adult.
One player draws a card showing a picture of an object on the playing board, and the others try to guess the object by asking questions that can be answered "yes" or "no." The player who figures out the object within 15 questions takes the card, and the player with the most cards at the end wins the game. Includes playing board, 48 picture cards, 2 wooden markers, and instructions. For 2-6 players. Approximate playing time: 15-20 minutes.Age: 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 Manufacturer: Ravensburger
REVIEW
Mystery Garden game This is a great game because of its simlicity. There is a big detailed picture and a bunch of tiles with pieces of the big picture on them. One player selects a tile and the other players ask yes and no questions to figure out what the tile is. We love to play this game as a family.
