Similo Wild Animals: A Fast-Playing Family Card Game - Guess the Secret Wild Animal Character, 1 Player is the Clue Giver & Others Must Guess the Character, 2-8 Players, Ages 8+, 20 m

I bought this game for my 5 year old's birthday because he loves animals and our family loves games. Little did I know this would quickly become a family favorite.First of all, the art is great. I love all the cards, though my mom thinks their eyes look weird. (I kind of think that just makes them look interesting, like their in on the secret.)Secondly, everyone in our family gets in on this game. Our 2 year old picks cards at random for me to give as clues (which adds a level of difficulty for my clue giving and the rest of the family's clue getting, lol) and both the grandparents in their 70s have enjoyed it too.Thirdly, it's educational! My kids are learning how to describe something, how to not blurt out an answer, how to problem solve, how to make connections about very different things, and how to see multiple possible solutions or meanings... And of course they're reinforcing what they know about animals. Mammals vs birds vs reptiles. Which animals live together and which don't.Great game. I intend to buy the other animals set to add to this one for more variety and get the fairy tales version when we start our fairy tale unit this year at school.

Great art, fun, easy to teach. What more can I say. This might work with kids as well.

Fun game for kids and adults.

Got this to play with my wife—looking for a 2-player cooperative game. We like it— fast to learn, which to play. We don’t always win, which is good. We’ve also played it with a group of four people and it was just as fun.

We play at least a couple times per week. We have 3 decks now and we love mixing them and playing.

Great game for any age!

Similo Wild Animals strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and challenge, making it suitable for players of all skill levels.

If you're looking for a fun and engaging filler game that can be enjoyed by the whole family, Similo Wild Animals is an excellent choice.

I found this version of Similo a bit more challenging than some of the other sets. Some monsters tend to have very similar features and all are obviously monsters so you can't play something to signify a good character as you would in the Fables version. Also the group I was playing with wasn't as familiar with the lore which is more on them than the game. If you love monsters and horror this is a fun version to have.
