Ok, this game took me by surprise. I liked it more than I thought I would. The quality--as is true of practically ALL Ravensburger games--is spectacular. I can see this lasting a long time. The detail is also amazing. It is clear that a lot of thought was put into this. The mechanics of the game were much more in depth than I thought it would be for a memory game.For those of you who do not know how the game works, I will briefly describe it. The board has 3 main areas: the town, the forest and the castle. Everyone starts in the town. You are trying to become the heir to the castle/kingdom by being the first to learn the whereabouts of 3 storybook items (Puss' boots, Rumpelstiltskin's spinning wheel etc.) and report them to the castle. The items are hidden under trees scattered about the forest. You get to move about the forest by rolling two dice. If you can land on a tree space with a combination of your two dice (or even just one die) you get to "peek" under the tree to see the treasure there. Now you have to remember all the special items you have seen hidden under the trees so that you can report its whereabouts to the castle. Now, the castle has a "deck" of eleven cards, one for each hidden item. If the top card of the deck has a hidden item that you know the location of, you make your way to the back of the castle to "report" its whereabouts. If you guess correctly where the item is hidden on the board, you get to keep the treasure and a new card is revealed. If you know the new card's whereabouts too, you can roll to guess that one as well. The winner is the one who collects 3 cards first.

I bought this for my 4 1/2 daughter based on my knowledge that Ravensburger is good quality and the good reviews. I think it was also on sale on Amazon at the time. My daughter really does love the game. It is a tad challengeing for her now based on the official rules. So right now what we do is no matter which players turn it is, we let everyone see what is under the tree. Sort of more like the old school memory card game. We also right now help her count her various options after she rolls the dice. It is still hard for her to understand that she may have 2 or more choices to move and that one of those may be a better choice and allow her to land on a tree to see what is under it. We figure as she gets older we will move to the official rules, making it more challenging. I love that the pieces are not Disney characters and just wooden pegs. It seems to be of good quality the board and all the pieces. I can see her playing this games for any many many years as she learns to strategize. Just to be clear the trees have pictures under them that you mix up and place on the tree spots each time you play, so the game is never the same. This is great. I think it is well designed and thought up game. My daughter wants to play over and over.

My 5 year old daughter says "Give it five stars! It is my most favorite game in the world!" We got it a few weeks ago and she has played this game at least once a day since getting it. It took her about a week to really get the hang of it and be able to win against grown ups.The game itself is attractive and nice quality, the pawns are made of wood and the cards and board are made of sturdy card stock and nicely illustrated. The game play is mostly strategy based and requires memorization, counting, and watching what other players are doing. I think she finds it appealing because there is strategy involved and because she finds the characters and illustrations engaging; she is familiar with most of the fairy tales referenced and has asked to check out books from the library about the stories she didn't know.
