RavensburgerMagna-Tiles® Treasure Hunt – A Create and Play Game for Children 3 and Up

Love how you can change the size of the game biard depending on time and age. I wish it had more of a plastic box for storage rather than cardboard. It almost tears everytime they try to open it.

I was very excited when this Magna-Tiles Treasure Hunt game popped up. My kids love Magna-Tiles and we have probably a dozen different sets that get played with daily.The game is very easy to set up, and it includes instructions for 2 different games plus ideas for how to set up and create your own games. I recommend setting up for the first game first as the stickers are required to be on a certain color of the tile, whereas in the second game it doesn't matter. On that note though, the "stickers" are actually more like window clings, so you can reposition them later to other tiles if need be. It did include a few extras for when you create your own games.I really like the nice oversized die that is included, this is great for little hands and fingers still mastering dexterity. The kids also loved the cute little jungle explorer character pieces.The con I really have with the game is the shipping time. It was exceedingly slow, ordered on Nov. 12th and didn't receive until the 25th. So if you're ordering for a birthday or holiday gift, give yourself lots of time beforehand to make sure it arrives on time.Overall, the quality is what I would expect from the Magna-Tile brand, and the family is excited to have another kid friendly game to play that they can also use their existing tiles with.

This is a great starter game for 3-year-olds to learn concepts such as rifles, winning/losing, etc. It comes with stickers, tiny safari people, and coins, so your kids can redesign the game each time they play. The instructions provide several ideas for variations, and the game is fun but quick enough to be used as a reward. The only downside is that it doesn't come with enough pieces to make a bigger board, but if your kid already has several Magnatile sets like our kids - the possibilities are pretty limitless.

This game is so simple that you really don’t even need to buy it to play the game.1. Contents. It includes 10 magna-tiles, dice (just one), 10 plastic coins, 4 people, and 10 stickers. To make the game interesting, you really need to add more magna-tiles, otherwise the game will be over quite quickly. You place the stickers on the tiles, one per tile.2. Rules. There are several different variations, but the basic rules are: (1) collect 3 coins to win and/or first to get to a second island to win; (2) get a coin by landing on a treasure chest; (3) lose a coin by landing on a monkey; (4) go backwards by landing on a crocodile; (5) move someone else by landing on a volcano, (6) start/finish is the island (palm trees); (7) use the dice to determine how many spaces to move forward. The instructions give several variations of the game that incorporate some or all of the above rules and/or tiles.3. Design your own board. One nice thing is that you can set up the board however you like it. You can make it more or less difficult, for example, you can include multiple pathways or you can put the crocodile after the money to set up two tiles in a row where you’d lose a coin. For more players you could basically use anything, even a monopoly piece, but you should make the board bigger.4. Need more magna-tiles. It seems to be expected that if you buy this game you already have or will need to get additional magna-tiles to use to expand the board to play the variations.In summary, the game goes pretty quickly, and is very easy an ideal for the attention span of a preschooler. This game is probably too basic for older children. It’s fun, but there’s nothing really unique or special about it that makes you think “wow, this is great.” The pricing seems a bit on the higher end considering you just get 10 tiles, some stickers, and several props.

Great starter game for a 3 year old to begin learning the concepts of rifles, winning/losing, etc. implement enough for a three year old! Certainly not the most enjoyable game for an adult but so fun for toddlers.
