Skillmatics Board Game - 2 The Top, Matching & Balancing Game with a Twist, Match Colours & Shapes, Gifts & Fun Family Friendly Game

Great fun, easy to play. My 9 year old grandson loves it

The media could not be loaded. We've had a lot of fun with this game! It's a bit like a mix of Uno and Jenga - the game is similar to Uno with shapes instead of numbers, but the addition of the jeopardy of Jenga makes it really exciting! It's actually a really fun game to play - the rules are relatively simple (and can be made simpler if necessary), which means the game is accessible to younger children, but importantly, it is actually a fun game to play, which means you can play with your children and actually get into the game yourself! Games don't last too long and the game can either pack away into its compact (21cm x 14cm) box or into a little bag (included) if you prefer. The bag is really just to store the shapes in, but if you're not bothered about the trays, you can save a bit more space by doing away with the box entirely.Lots of fun and highly recommended!

Got to love a game that gets the gray matter working and that doesn’t require batteries.This was a stocking filler for my 6year old grandson, but was enjoyed by everyone who played it over the Christmas period.The wooden pieces come in 4 colours and a variety of shapes, with additional white and black hexagons that add to the game play.There are also so star cards, to show who won the round (not used by us).Swap and freeze cards, which I wish there was more of these, as think more people could play the game unlike 2-4 players stated.The rules are easy to understand and game rounds can take a variety of length depending on how well everyone’s ability yo get things to balance are.Think this is a great game and could easily be thrown in a bag to play anywhere and by all ages. On New Years Eve once the alcohol was flowing made the game hilarious watching a 20+ play while tipsy and hand eye coordination not at best.Would recommend this game to everyone and have already sent it to a few friends for game ideas

The rules of this game are simple to learn whilst playing, but it takes a few games to get a feel of the strategy. The game length is reasonably quick. The rules as written have one serious flaw. The SWAP power cards are far too powerful, so there is a need to have house rules to limit their effect. With that problem taken care of the game is an enjoyable mix of physical stacking and mental strategy. It is suitable for ages 7+ and could be played in teams, if you want to include more players.

This game is fun for the whole family, simple instructions, easy to play.This is a stacking game where the piece you add to the stack must be the same color or shape as the existing top piece on the stack.

I thought this may be something like Jenga, which is absolutely superb, and a game of skill that my Grandson loves playing. Unfortunately, it isn’t really. It’s nicely presented, with a good colourful box, and the instructions clear and easy to understand. The cards and stars are decent quality card, and it’s good that they have included a cloth bag for the shapes. The shapes themselves are okay, but not brilliant quality.Playing is very simple and straightforward, but not exactly exciting. It isn’t difficult to stack all the pieces as you go, so it becomes very samey, but okay. I think little ones will like, but older children will find this rather lame to be honest. Okay to while away a spare half hour I guess.Overall, this is okay. Quick and easy to set up, easy to play and understand, but will only really appeal to small children, and certainly not the most engaging of games. Quality is okay, but it is a bit pricey.I hope that you’ve found this helpful.

This is a matching the shape and balancing game with a couple of little twists. It is quick to set up and quick to play. The rules are easy to follow and all the bits in the box are easy to use. Look at the measurements of the box, it is not huge could be taken on holiday to play ... The cards and trays are good quality card, by the time the children have grown out of this, they will probably still be good enough to pass on, if you have sibilings that have children. Simple and fun. Time away from the screen. All children should play games as well as outdoor fun with toys, time away from screens is important for everyone. Teaches them some of the rules of life, sharing, winning, losing, patience, sometimes it just luck ... If they never play games they tend to be a lot more selfish/impatient. As a teacher, you can tell in a class who has and who hasn't!

This is a great little family game, which comes well packaged in a neat, good sized box.I played it with my nephews/niece aged 5,6 & 8.I read the rules beforehand so I was prepared to explain it to them as we went along, as with all games you can adapt rules slightly if you want to make things easier for the younger ones or change things up. Otherwise it is a lot for younger children to take in all at once. We kept the instructions close to hand to refer back to.They seemed to pick it up fairly quickly and we spent quite a while playing the game. It gets better as you get to grips with the game play/rules.It’s a fun, entertaining and educational game which anyone can play. Even the 11 year old who had been watching TV when we started, began to take an interest when he saw us all playing and laughing.Made from good quality materials which is reflected in the price. Great for family games nights!

Perfect game for my 7 year old cousin! She really enjoys the game

Good game. Fun to play.

This is a pretty fun game, it's very similar to Uno!

Surprisingly fun game for all. Only small area needed to play. Loved it more than expected!
