Great for littles, I would say 3+ (Maybe even some 2s)
This game is VERY simple and easy to win. Once you get any bit of distance between all three mermaids and the sea witch it’s pretty much over. Especially if you’ve also picked up some wands along the way—also very easy to do. So as an older child it can be, dare I say, a bit boring. In all the times that we’ve played since Christmas morning (many, bc despite my critique the game is a hit), we’ve only had one mermaid sent back to start and we’ve never lost. My pic is of the closest we’ve ever gotten to losing, and as you can see we still had three wands to burn. It could use a bit more challenge for kids 5+, which could certainly be added on your own. Give the sea witch the ability to move backwards, put a 1 on one of her spinner locations and a 2 on the other, play without the wands etc.However, with all that said, it is hard to find games for very small children to be able to participate in, and this game definitely fits that bill. My 3YO loves it, especially bc it’s mermaids, and I would bet even some 2YOs could catch on. We make it a bit more fun by getting really animated any time we spin a sea witch space, and we’ve even had stuffed animals join us in play. It’s a quick game so older kids can play along too even if they don’t love it. My 5yo stays interested enough for a few games but is usually eager to switch back to Dinosaur Escape-another Peaceable Kingdom game that has a bit more challenge. It involves memory, a timer, and a bit of strategy. Highly recommend that one. 3YO loves it too.A big difference I see between my 3YO playing Mermaid Kingdom and Dinosaur Escape, is that thanks to the simplicity of MK, she’s able to focus on critical thinking. She’s now got it figured out that if she spins a 2, and one of the three mermaids is two spaces away from being able to cross a bridge, she should choose to move that one. Or move mermaids away from the witch as fast as possible. We don’t have to tell her anymore, she’s deciding all on her own. As opposed to DE, because there’s more to think about and more to remember, she doesn’t always fully grasp why we should move which dinosaur for the best outcome. (Yet, of course.) Hope that makes sense.So all in all it’s a great game for littles, but I would say a more appropriate age recommendation would be 3+, maybe even 2+. With a bit of your own rules you could make it more challenging though.
