Really fun, but check pieces

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024

Awesome game to play with kids under (about) 10 years old. Some older ones might like it, but not challenging enough for middle school age. Make it harder by taking out the lunch box piece, or requiring 4 keys instead of the 3, or taking out path pieces while keeping the ogre pieces. Overall great game, except check you have all the pieces included and not warped (missing some and a few warped when I got mine. Replaced with another set).

Great for families with kids 4-10

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016

Fun family game and great for including kids as young as 5. Our two year old just played with the dice while we played the game (the dice are only needed for initial setup). The materials used are of a good quality and everything about it is great.

It's a bit of a chance game, in that you're drawing tiles at random hoping to get ones that let you build the path you need to build, but there's still some strategy in how to place those tiles to keep your options so you don't get screwed by getting a straight path when you need a bend.

Perhaps I should explain the game a bit.

The board is set up like a grid, the players work as a team to build a path of tiles that start at the top left and end at the bottom right. Along the way, the players must pickup 3 out of 4 keys that are placed randomly before play begins. The game is played by each player taking turns drawing tiles and placing them on the board on a space adjacent to the tiles that have already been played. Tiles are either straight, 90 degree bends, t-intersections or troll tiles (that advance the troll). The players must collect the keys and complete their path before the troll reaches the end space. The troll begins at the top right, and advances one space down the right side of the board for each troll tile pulled.

Believe it or not, it's not as easy as it sounds. You do have to use some strategy in how you build your path to maximize your chances of getting the keys you need and building your path to the end.

My 8 year old seemed to enjoy the game, the 2 year old definitely wasn't ready for it yet. Hopefully the older one will still find it interesting when the younger one is finally old enough to play, though I'm not sure if this will hold the interests of a kid in middle school or high school.

Update: 2 years later this is one of the best games we have that both the (now) 4 and 10 year old can play together. The pieces have held up perfectly, it really still looks brand new. I came across this when looking for more games by this company and decided to give an update since it has been such a great game for us :)

Easy game for young kids

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2024

Verified Purchase

Purchased this for my 3.5 year old. It is a very simple game, create a trail, collecting keys to unlock the treasure before the Ogre gets their first. My kids can place the path pieces and can do basic strategy.

One complaint is the cards do not stack well, and the stack will tip over if left unattended. To fix this we got a small drawstring bag and place the cards in it, and then take turns drawing from the sack, it also makes the game more exciting and harder because it’s easier to draw the ogre card. One game we drew 5 ogre cards in a row, which would have been more unlikely if we just stacked them.

Overall, a fun cooperative game for the young kids.

Very much enjoy playing this game, but most importantly the kids do too! Maybe having a card/chip dispenser would help, but I guess that would take away from simplicity. Sturdy box, board and card/chips, which is nice for frequent kid use.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2021

This is a good little game for children under 8. You play as a team in a race against the Ogre to get to the treasure 1st. Easy to play you roll 2 dice to place 4 keys & an Ogre snack on the game board and the rest is just turning over cards which will either be a path or an Ogre. If it is a path you have to work out between you which direction to take on the game board to collect 3 of the 4 keys you need and possibly the Ogre snack which can be used to slow the Ogre down. If you turn over an Ogre card you place it on the Ogre's route to the treasure which is a straight route. Your route is longer than the Ogres but there are more path cards than Ogre cards. Part of the excitement for kids is what card will be turned over next and can you collect the keys and get your path to the treasure before the Ogre. I have played this quite a few times with my just turned 7 year old granddaughter and she has enjoyed it. On average you probably beat the Ogre 4 out of 5 times. Game lasts about 5-10 minutes.
