Peaceable Kingdom / Race to the Treasure Cooperative Board Game Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The first thing I love about Race to the Treasure is that the instructions are printed inside the lid of the box! Yeah no instruction's to loose! Next is that all the game pieces can be put back in the included envelope so you don't have loose pieces flying around when you open the box. The object of the game is to get to the treasure before the Ogre does, by of course working together. So 2-4 players work together choosing which way to put their Path Cards which guide them towards the three keys they need to earn. While they are playing though if they pick up on Ogre card instead of a Path Card then the Ogre gets one spot closer to the treasure. My five year old loves this game because he is all about mazes and moving around on a gameboard and with the Path Cards you create the direction you are moving! It is a challenge to line the cards up the right way all while picking up the three keys you need and then racing to the treasure before the Ogre! I will say though my son was excited to have the Ogre pop up! This is an adorable game and even though it says ages 5 and up, my 3 year old is picking up how to play the game! Great decision making and teamwork going on in this game!

When we pulled out Race to the Treasure to play my boys were very interested in this game. It held my 3 year old's attention through the whole first time through the game, a major feat for my 3 year old! My 5 year old and I went on to play a total of 5 games in a row we were having so much fun! The games are pretty quick and are different every time which makes it fun to play the game a few times back to back. I loved that my 5 year old was learning about how to count on a grid while busy playing. The only thing I would say is that we won every time we played and it would be nice to have a variant that makes the game a bit harder once you know how to play like is offered in some of the other Peaceable Kingdom games. We loved the game and the pieces and board are very vibrant and well made.

Best Deals for Peaceable Kingdom / Race to the Treasure Cooperative Board Game

I bought this game as a present for my five year old cousin. I played it numerous times during my visit with her, and it is an enjoyable game. It is clearly very simplistic, and has the propensity to get old after several rounds, but I think the same can likely be said for most games targeted at this age group. It is nice to play a cooperative game, especially with competitive kids. My one main quibble is that it would be nice if there were variations provided. I'd definitely recommend this game, and I will likely purchase games by the same creator as gifts.

Honest reviews on Peaceable Kingdom / Race to the Treasure Cooperative Board Game

We play this game with our 7 and 5 year old. They absolutely love it! It is a simple game, with simple rules and it moves quickly, which is great because it keeps everyone's attention. I love that it is a "thinking" game and allows for options with each card that is played (there are multiple ways to lay the piece to create the path to the end). My favorite thing is telling the kiddos that the goal of the game is for everyone to work together to get the keys and beat the Ogre. A lot of other games have everyone trying to be the 1st and with younger kiddos the games never end with everyone happy like with the Race to the Treasure!

If we have friends come over, my kiddos love to pull this game out to play and they can teach their friends to play with very little help from us. I have noticed that the age recommendations are pretty accurate. Friends who are under 5 who try to play seem to loose interest in playing quickly.

We recommend this game!
