MudpuppyScoops Meow! Game from, Fast Paced Memory Matching Game, Easy to Play, Teaches Color Matching and Pattern Recognition, Ideal for 2-4 Players, for Kids 5+, Instructions Included

Purchased for my niece's 6th birthday (she loves sharks). We played about five rounds, and she seemed to really enjoy it. She is very familiar with Go Fish and matching four-of-a-kind, so she's got the basics. The speed and the awareness of her co-players is going to take a few more games, but it’s not overly difficult to learn. If you already know how to play Spoons, then you know how to play this game.The cardboard sharks are sturdy. The cards are no more or less sturdy than regular playing cards. The addition of the extra-chance shark teeth is a great idea--it helps the game last longer (but don't worry, this isn't Uno; the game will end).In my opinion this game would be great for ages 7-9; younger kids would definitely be able to play, but know your kids and their gaming capabilities. It can be fast or slow, but it works best if all players move at similar speeds (but not mandatory). A 13yo sibling might get frustrated with the 6yo's speed, and vice versa, for example. But once everyone gets the hang of it, I think it would be a great family game. Not too babyish for the big kids, not too complicated for the younger kids.A fun game, a great gift.

I was worried this game might be too simple for my 11 year old, but it's a lot harder than it seems! It's easy enough for my 7 year old, but hard enough for my wife and I. There's even a piece you can choose not to use if you want to make the game easier for littler kids.It's a ton of fun, easy to learn, and gets everyone laughing and scrambling for their cards. Perfect for a family game night.

My kids love this game and want to play all the time. It's easy to learn and fast paced. The sharks that you grab are nice and sturdy cardboard, but after many rounds are showing some wear. The cards themselves are a little thin and also showing wear pretty quickly. I hope it holds up because it has been a hit in our house!

Cute game that everyone loves to play

Grandson loved it

I have loved playing “spoons” since I was a kid and when I saw this cute shark version I had to get it. The sharks are thick and sturdy. I like that you have the option to use the shark teeth so people don’t get out on the first try. The illustrations on the cards are beautiful as well. And it makes it easier for younger kids to match the cards. Highly recommend!

My 6 year old got this game for Christmas. We love to play Spoons in our house and this is a fun spin on it. We decided to purchase one for our nephew (age 8) and it was an absolute hit with him, my 7 year old, and their grandpa. They played it multiple times during our get-together.

Love this game! Great creative game for family time and easy to learn.
