Crawling reach the lettuce patch

For me, "Tempo, little snail" one of the best first board games for small children. Ordered and paid we have a 3.5 year old child. The joy was great and the game pleased the child right away. Ravensburger has this classic on the market, even we have been playing for years, when we were little. The nice thing is that the quality of the game has never changed in all these years. Still the worm are made of wood and were not replaced by cheap plastic pawns. Already it's a plus.

Among the rules was here already explained everything: With the color cubes a color is determined. The screw with that color may advance a field. Then the next player's turn. Here it is not about that at the end a winner is determined. It is a wonderful game with no winners or losers. Here just won the snail that has, thus achieved the first goal of the lettuce patch. That's why there it also a plus point.

Worth mentioning, the two dice are included. One need only theoretically yes a cube, has so keep a spare or each of the two player gets a dice. Of course, more than 2 players are possible.

For us it was no incentive to buy this game only to discover the colors. It was much more important for us to have a game where young children have to learn the rules. Of course, it's quite easy to advance a snail. Rather we are concerned that the small sometimes learn to wait until they are back in the series. Even though it's a short game, patience is here already demanded. The setting up and tidying the game board and the accessories will be taken over by the child. Educational and motor of this game is very valuable.

"Tempo, little snail" is and remains a classic among the first board games. Why do some I can not understand complain about the ages. My child would have to just under 2 years so that is can not do anything yet! And when the children get older, this game offers a lot of potential to let come up with new rules. And older siblings play the game safely worm also likes the younger!

I would buy it again and again and give away. Highly recommended.
