I was quite surprised at how much this seemingly simple game confused my kids. I thought they would find it easy since the rules are fairly straightforward and can be learned quickly. However, when it came time to think of mammals or formulate yes-no questions to distinguish between them, my kids’ minds went completely blank. It was eye-opening to realize they need more practice with their (semi-)lateral thinking!
The animals featured are all common ones that a 5-year-old should recognize, so nothing is particularly rare or unusual. The trivia and “double or nothing” style questions require a bit more general knowledge, but typically, any child around 9 or 10 would be familiar with everything these cards offer.
One important thing to note is that the claim of “2-6 players” isn’t entirely accurate. The game requires exactly two teams, regardless of team size. You could technically have 100 players divided into two teams of 50, but you cannot have three teams of one if you have three players; it has to be a team of 2 and a team of 1. This can be awkward if you have one adult and two kids who wish to compete against each other instead of teaming up.
The guessing game is presented simply, but the box is unnecessarily large, making it seem more substantial than it is. It feels a bit misleading since the game could easily have been offered as a pack of cards, like Top Trumps.
The biggest flaw in the presentation is that the cards are somewhat transparent. If you’re holding a card up for the opposing team to guess, the answer can be seen through the card in the right lighting. Be sure to hold it behind your hand if you want to avoid giving away the answer!
Overall, although it feels a bit overpriced and overly packaged for a simple card game aimed at 5 to 9-year-olds, it is still quite enjoyable.

The game promotes critical thinking and vocabulary enhancement while being enjoyable. Featuring an “Animals” theme, players deduce the animal from clever hints. I highly recommend it for an engaging and educational gaming experience that everyone in the family will love.

I purchased this product for my afterschool club and have used it three times before the summer break. The kids loved it; by the end of the game, I could barely read the cards because they were so close and eager. It’s a fantastic resource!
