Learning is important, secondary character

Magors reading magic is more learning material than a game for me. In order to call it a real game, I find it "boring" and educationally to. If you see it as a learning material, it is quite something else and learning to read well suited. Although I also have to say that it is not so appealing, unfortunately, that it would all too often rangeholt of the children.

To get a job card in the game, each time the raven must be captured first. You can hear quiet or loud Rabenkrächzen on the star fields - depending on the raven is like far away. Here's about the first problem. A player who does not capture the raven, has no chance of task cards and thus plays actually not with the whole game. Especially in 4-player game, it can happen that a player can get hold no task cards. This is of course quite frustrating. Recommended I think the game why only in the 1- or 2-player variant. If you play with 4 people, it's boring for everyone. Everyone is too rare off (and some is not even off because he has not caught a raven).

If you now get a job card, one must solve the associated task. Depending on reading ability, there are three levels of difficulty. But it is really only suitable for beginning readers. Younger children can not play due to lack of knowledge of letters. For older it's boring. The best would be probably the game for children with exactly the same level of knowledge. As an adult, you're teammates with no real own fun factor, which in many games that you can play with children of school age, is quite different indeed.

There are various tasks such. B. is a task that you have to rearrange letters to form words in the test tubes. If you have all tubes run through, one knows the words and the task is boring.

My Conclusion:

Quite suitable to practice with the child once in a slightly different way, reading and learning to read. As Übematerial a yes than a no match. Magors reading magic is interesting only in a very limited period: Class 1 and possibly the beginning of class 2. Then it is too simplistic, provides no incentive to play. Another negative point is that you can solve some tasks only once. For more than 2 people I do not recommend.
