Admiral Fisher10  Certainly one of the best kids games out there. Watch out for the little fingers of your toddlers and young kids! They are bound to be nimbler than yours. The game casued much amusement, the pieces are lovely and it will also double up as a game that you can get out when you you have friends around for a pizza and a bottle of wine. The only negative is that the game is rather expensive.
aldanra103Yes It is a great game that appeals almost all kids, and sometimes even adults. Sure, 3 year olds just want to flip the next tile to see it, even if there are some 10 tiles between them; they cannot really get the strategy, but they have such a great time.
alkaiser104Yes Probably the best game to play with your kids where everyone can have fun and there is no memory element involved. Kids have a huge advantage over adults in this game and they know it. The game also keeps the kids happy off the table as well. My girls confiscate the eggs to use with their cooking play sets all the time!
beezwax105Yes This really is an outstanding game for kids. There's a bit of strategy, which is nice; but more importantly kids can consistently beat adults at this game with no handicapping whatsoever.
blan86104Yes IMO, this is The game to have for mixed groups of kids and adults. A game where the kids usually have the advantage.
boltongeordie102Yes A solid 10. Lovely pieces, lots of fun, lots of replay value. A 2.5 year old can master grabbing the eggs (and tiny fingers give little ones a big advantage) even if they don't always understand the rest of the game. Quite forgiving - after a mistake you can generally catch back up to the leaders within one or two turns. Great fun for adults with a few beers once the kids have gone to bed too (but it is difficult keeping the noise down when playing).
brent10  My kids got this game as a gift from their grandparents. They love it and we play often as it is a fun game even for my wife and I. It is really a dexterity game where the advantage goes to small and slender fingers. Although, this game is recommended for ages 5 yrs and older, I find that even younger children (such as my 2 year old) can have fun with this game, as a bonus it helps them learn their colors. This is by far the most requested game from my kids, and it is one that I find equally if not more challenging than my childeren, and thus receives a perfect 10 from me.
cagriggs102Yes Purchased for my two-year-old this past Christmas and he absolutely loves it. As has been stated repeatedly, this is the kind of game that a child can certainly win against his or her parents. Kids really do have an advantage when drawing the eggs from the nest. The game has tension, some decision making, and a lot of fun. Highly recommend.
ccmonter103Yes The very best kids game I have ever encountered. Kids of all ages can play in a fairly even field, even with adults. The dexterity aspect favours small fingers. It helps with turn-taking, colour recognition, and even basic strategy.
cdefrisco103Yes I'm just repeating everything else wonderful that has been said about this game already. Great for the whole family, especially when the younger ones can beat the adults! :-)
chance104Some Not as much fun for adults, its a simple dexterity game where kids with little fingers have the advantage. They love it, however.
chipster103Yes One of the best games for kids to play with adults. No handicapping is necessary. Fun for all!
dangermike102Some A simple and enjoyable game in which smaller kids actually have a big advantage over adults due to their tiny fingers! The endgame is a little confusing, so read the rules carefully.
davebo10  As far as BGG is concerned, if you have kids and do not own this game you should be reported to CPS.
ef104Yes  
erik2point0103Yes I love this game. One of the few games that my 3 year old and my 8 year old request. The whole family enjoys it.
fsumarc104Yes Great family game! challenging for adults and children both. Kids actually have an advantage in this game. Definately a top 10 family game with young children.
GelatinousGoo103Some This is the only competitive game my daughter and I can play full-out. I do not have to flub any moves intentionally. The egg-stealing is a great equalizer. My daughter is 3, and I'm not quite sure she gets the idea of turning a tile or picking an egg of your choice. Though she rarely makes the seemingly optimal move, she beats me outright more often than not.
gilesclone10  An excellent game for kids that adults can enjoy too. Very colorful bits and the "egg alarm" adds humor and excitement to the game. I suspect a 3 year old could play this with a little help. My 4.5 year old has no problem with it. The game makes sure nobody is ever really out of it until the very end. Get it.
guantanamo105Yes One of the best games for kids. It's simple to understand and fun. All people are on a fairly level playing field. Slight advantage to small hands.
