The Fairy Game

It is a great game , thebplayers are on the same team, very easy to play, and entertaining. The kids learnbto play as a team, and cooperation.

The Fairy Game by Peaceable Kingdom is a cute game! My 3.5 year old really enjoys playing this game. The first day we opened it we played it 6 times in a row and she asks to play it everyday. I don't get sick of it either, which is great for me! my 7 year old son wasn't too excited to play "The fairy Game" at first, but at the end of the game he said, "That was really fun, mom!" Needless to say it is a favorite! The object of this cooperative game is to collect all 4 colored jewels before Mr. Winter freezes the flowers. If Mr. Freeze gets 4 snowflakes on any 1 flower he wins. If you, as a group, can collect all 4 jewels before a flower is frozen then you win! Co-op games have been a really big hit in our family. It's great to play with each other instead of against each other for a change. It has taught them teamwork. For ages 5+ (But my 3.5 year old picked it up just fine. She needed a little more help the first few rounds, but does great now.) 2-4 Players 15 minutes Game includes: Game board - A nice, sturdy board with cute artwork 13 Snowflake tokens - sturdy tokens with a cute snowflake 57 Fairy garden cards - 35 fairy, 3 unicorns, 4 wands & 15 mr. winter. Thick card with cute artwork on both sides. 4 Jewel tokens 44 Snowstorm cards 1 Box - Very cute artwork and sturdy. The instructions are built in on the lid of the box. It's very convenient! Overall this is a fun game. Peaceable Kingdoms makes their games with kids in mind. The quality of all their games prove that. I would recommend this game to my family and friends for their 3-8 year olds!

Love this cooperative game. We assign the cards feelings and share stories along the way. A great way to get kids talking, but a fun game on its own.

Bought this for my four and a half year old daughter, and she loves it. We play it nearly every day and multiple times each time we pull it out. And the mechanics are so much more exciting for an adult than Candy land. I jokingly called this “baby’s first strategy game” since unlike most games aimed at 4 years, player choices affect the outcome (though with a healthy dose of luck) - we win just over half the time, and most of our losses are pretty close, another turn or two and we would have won. And since it’s a cooperative game, we lose together, which lets me model for her the appropriate reactions to a loss - disappointment rather than anger. It was a quick pick up too - the first play through I had to tell her what to do each turn, and play two she kept asking me to confirm, by play 3 she was making her own decisions - sometimes not the best decision for the team, but hey, that’s a lesson too! If you have a 4 year old who loves games and is ready to move to actually making decisions in games as opposed to just riding a brightly colored luck rail all the way to the end - I definitely recommend this game!

I bought this game for my older 3-year old for Valentine's Day. She absolutely loves it. 1) It's very sturdy, with instructions printed on the box top so they can't be lost. 2) This company replaces lost game items for free if we were to lose a card, piece, etc 3) This is a cooperative game, which is amazing because it creates a family team to take down the very non-scary "bad guy", Mr. Winter. 4) Great for pre-readers. The instructions are easy to teach the child, and the cards have no writing on them, making the entire game playable easily for a young child. This is a new family game night hit, and I'm sure it will be so for a long time. I look forward to buying more games like this in the future.

I would recommend purchasing this game. My five year old daughter loves it and wants to play it constantly. This is our first cooperative play game and it has been great for family bonding. My two favorite parts of this game are, first, that one round of the game can be completed in about 10 minutes. (I grow weary of games like chutes and ladders that can last and last.) Second, this game does require some thought and strategy. Mr. Winter seems to win and loose a decent amount for our 3 person play. I deducted a star from this review because of all of the cardboard pieces. I would have preferred cute little plastic snowflake and gem pieces. I really wish game manufacturers would go away from using only the bare minimum for game materials but this particular game does seem to use a higher quality (durable) cardboard and card stock. Overall I would recommend.

My daughter is 4 years old and is just starting to get into board games. Most games are too advanced for her, but she loves this game. It’s played as a group so we all try to win together. It’s a fun group game and she absolutely loves it. It’s easy to play and learn for her. She cracks up when she gets “Mr. Winter” and we all go “Oh no, Mr Winter!” If you have a young child looking to get into games this is a great game for young toddlers.

I bought this for my kids, a boy aged 4.5 and two twin girls just turning 7. They're kind of in that stage where they get upset when they lose. This game encourages everyone working together toward a goal. The instructions are a little convoluted but once you play it a few times everyone catches on. The art is beautiful and the pieces are high quality. Between this one and the mermaid game by the same company, this one is their favorite. They love getting the fairies and especially the unicorns, which makes it a little difficult to give them up (object of the game), but that's more on my kids than the game. When we do lose we just kind of go "oops! Oh well. Want to try again?" and everyone excitedly agrees. No tears or fighting or grumpy walk-offs. For family game night we play this one a bunch of times! I'd go as far as to say I love it. I will be looking into the company's other games as this one was a huge hit and it brought us closer. Thank you for the great product. Tip: make sure you shuffle reeeally well. We learned the hard way that the discard pile usually has a lot less of the helpful cards than the problem cards, and it can cause you to lose in record time without even a chance.
