GaltToys, Picture Lotto, Classic Picture Lotto Game for Children, Ages 4 Years Plus

My children played this for hours years ago when they were children, so much so that I now still buy it for young children even today. Simple format, sturdy card. Keeps young children entertained

At the time of review, the price is £7.99.Classic picture matching game designed for children aged 4 years and up. The game comes with four double-sided boards featuring colorful illustrations of animals, objects, and characters that children will easily recognize and enjoy.The objective of the game is simple: players take turns picking up picture cards and matching them to the pictures on their board until they complete a row. The first player to complete a row wins the game. This simple gameplay is easy for young children to understand and helps to develop their memory, concentration, and social skills as they learn to take turns and cooperate with others.The quality of the game is excellent, with thick and durable cards and boards that can withstand repeated play. The illustrations are bright, engaging, and well-drawn, making them easy for children to recognize and match. The game is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and store when not in use.

I don’t know about anyone else but I was a bit confused reading the description on how to play this - but it’s simple: it’s picture bingo. You get 6 picture boards (3x3 grid) and a stack of cards to draw from. If you have the picture on your board, you take the card and place it on your board. The first player to collect all 9 cards, wins.So it’s straightforward, no skill required really but lovely for young children as it's a very visual game that requires the matching up of pictures: it’s interactive and little ones seem to like the anticipation aspect and get quite excited seeing cards on their board come up. Extra fun if you can have a person specifically assigned to calling out the cards (just like real bingo) but it’s not essential.My only criticism is that when the cards have been placed on the board, it’s actually a little difficult to differentiate between collected pictures and missing cards - something on the cards like a coloured border, a stripe across the picture would have helped greatly... **My Solution** : I’ve stuck down a small gold star sticker to the corner of every card (on the picture side) to help with this.Nice quality game otherwise; brightly coloured illustrations on chunky, durable cardboard (a lot like jigsaw pieces). Lots of fun for young children, very easy to play and ideal for family time!

Good quality game that is simple in its design but a great introductory game for young children. The matching element is good for developing a range of skills and promoting learning, but the vibrant colours are also very appealing.

Brilliant quality game of picture bingo. We actually first came across this game in the crafts and enrichment area of a local art gallery, where they have loads of simple type games like this one and pairs, snap etc. for kids to play.Our kids (3 and 5) loved playing with it, though in the case of our 3 year old we still haven't fully grasped the concept that you only get one turn at a time, even if you uncover a card you don't need! He will get there though and I really like that you can involve younger children in this game and that it doesn't have complex rules to follow.Great family game and super quality as ever with Galt - they will be playing with this game at home for a long time to come.
