Fun family game
Another great game from Peaceable Kingdom. Our first was Lemonade Shake Up. My family still loves playing it but I thought we were ready to try something new. This doesn't disappoint. The box is not flimsy. Ours arrived in perfect condition. It does have a sticker on it though. I began trying to remove it but quickly realized it wouldn't be a clean pull off and would leave a residue so I left it alone. Instructions were printed on the inside of the box but I think I found a spelling error (stine soup???) which is odd. It also came with a little story about "stone soup" which was a fun read and good discussion opportunity. The board is sturdy and lays flat. However, there is barely enough room for all the game tiles. Tight flipping them over at the beginning of the game. That makes it a little difficult for small children. The game tiles are not the thickest but they're also not paper thin. I don't forsee an issue from them anytime soon though. It did contain an envelope to place the tiles in. Rules are easy to understand. My kids had it down pat by our first game. Even my three year old can play (although she seems to like finding the fire tiles better than matching the soup ingredients). We've played it every day since it arrived. The kids love it. And I'd say it's been about 50/50 in terms of beating the game or losing to it. Cooperative games have changed our family game time from a lot of squabbling and tears to everyone actually enjoying playing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for my 2 and 4 year old
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016

This is an age appropriate, cooperative game, meaning all players win or lose together. In this day and age where competition is stressed in every other aspect of our lives and our children's lives, this is a refreshing change. My husband and I needed to review that concept a couple times before the kids understood and then the game dynamics and he personal squabbles that occurred with other no cooperative games all went away. Family fun night really was fun for both kids and parents! This game is great for learning to recognize colors, foods, counting. The game teaches special recognition, memorization, sharing and cooperation, along with an opportunity to open up a discussion about healthy eating habits with my kids, disguised as a game. What more can a health conscious parent ask for? The game arrived without damage. There were no delays with delivery. The instructions were clear.

This game exceeded my expectations. Growing up we only played games where there was 1 winner and the rest of the players were losers. After playing candyland and some other similar games my 4 year old was getting an attitude whenever she lost a game. I was curious what a cooperative game was, and I was happy to have purchased stone soup for her birthday. It is a great memory game, but one you work together to accomplish the final goal. My daughter went from "me, me, me" to "team, team, team". It is a lot more fun to play because of her better attitude. Also, because we play as a team, we don't get as frustrated when my 2 year old flips the matching card over when it is my turn instead of hers. While people say the game is good for 5+, you can modify it for little kids who have the patience to sit through a board game. I just hide the magic stone and one of the fire's out cards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice cooperative game for K-2 students
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2014

I use this game in my work as an elementary school counsellor, and I find that it's enjoyable for kids between K and grade 2. Many of them don't know the story of Stone Soup, so luckily there's a short version of it included on a leaflet inside the box. The story sometimes raises some young eyebrows: "He was tricking them into sharing!?"

This game is essentially "Memory," but players work together to find pairs of soup ingredients to add to the pot, before they turn over all of the "fire out" cards that would end the game. Finding the Magic Stone card is protection against a "fire out" card. I've never seen a pair of students lose at this game, but there's certainly some built in frustration in terms of drawing "fire out" cards or not being able to find a match. I think it makes a good game for children with delicate self-esteem. Seeing little ones light up with pride every time they find a match is kind of lovely.

Very good quality, colourful, cutely-illustrated game board and pieces, although the area where you lay out all the cards is a bit squishy for little hands to work within, and there doesn't feel like quite enough space for the pairs of 'ingredient cards' to all fit within the outline of the soup pot. Not a reason not to purchase but just an idea for future versions to address. Basically it's Memory with a twist, so it's kind of bland, but the quality of the game makes me bump it up from 3 to 4 stars.

I use this game in my family therapy practice. Most children I see don’t know the stone soup story so they find it quite funny when I read the story that comes with the game. I love that it’s cooperative and not competitive.

I live Peaceable Kingdom games. They're cooperative games, which is great if you have kids that fight or get mad over games. Plus, as an adult I don't dread playing these with my kids. They're fun! They are also good quality and durable.

This is a great game! I got it for my 4 year old son for Christmas since he like the book, “stone soup”. He loves this game. You match the ingredients then add it to the pot to make the soup. He likes matching games and with the “fire out” cards it adds a little challenge to it. Very happy with this purchase! Highly recommend this game for little ones.

I purchased this for my daughter and then ended up using it for myself ! I had a brain bleed that caused some damage to my short term memory. My hubby brought this to the Rehab Facility and we played it often. My memory has increased and this game was very helpful. A great game for all ages, noncompatative,fun, fast paced, Ihighly recomend it. Thereis a great book called Stone Soup you should also read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our favourite game
Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2020

We just received this game yesterday and our family has been playing it constantly for the past two days. My 3 1/2 yr old daughter loves it and wants to play it over and over. We don’t stop when the fire goes out. We keep going until we get all the ingredients matched. We also don’t use the magic stone as the instructions dictate we just set it aside when we select it. But we still love the game. It is our favourite. We don’t have a lot of games just this one, Monopoly Junior and Scrabble Junior. This is our favourite game so far.

I ordered this game for my 4 year old granddaughter. We have played it and she really enjoys it.
I like the fact that it is a cooperative game and that we work together to fill the soup pot. At 4, sometimes
not being a winner may be difficult, so something done cooperatively really works!
I would recommend this game!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's like an unforgiving game of match-up
Reviewed in Canada on October 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
One of Peaceable Kingdom's more challenging co-ops perhaps. My 5 year old son has several Peaceable Kingdom games in his collection. This one tends to frustrate him a little; it has a lower win rate than the other co-ops. A lot of luck involved in being able to find the magic stone before uncovering all the 'fire out' tiles. Very unlikely to win if you can't find the stone, and even having the stone doesn't equal a win, just means now you have a shot.

It's like an unforgiving game of match-up, is how I'd best describe it. Still a good buy, and still reaches the table, but not one of his favourites.

Grandkids - two boys age 5 and 8 - love this game. Collaborating took a little explanation then the freedom of helping each other out made it so fun. They love to find the Stone and figure out when to use it.
