Fun (math) Toy [Posted on 2007-12-25]
This is fun for my 8 year old. Good concept and she is learning without even knowing she is doing math. An overall winner. Different levels allow for advancement extending the amount of time this game is useful for leaning. Good investement.

Board and dinos are durable and good quality.

Board footprints are close together and get crowded. Sometimes it is confusing to know what line to follow, expecially when there is a showdown.

Card stock thin but not unlike many other board games sold.

I bought this because of the math factor and was pleased that it is also fun for the whole family.

Mistakes on the game cards [Posted on 2008-01-06]
I purchased this for my daughter to help her with place value. She loves the dinos, but when we play with the action number cards there seems to be a lot of mistakes. For example, the yellow dino starts out in the 1's positions, but the cards and the directions both have the yellow dino in the 1000's position. It is confussing for her since for example, she is looking to move the yellow dino back 3 thousands with an action number card and it is actually in the ones position. I've tried calling the company to see why the differences in the game board, directions and cards, but have received no answer. I'm rating the game a little higher, because she loves the dinos and if you don't play with the cards it makes sense.

math is fun [Posted on 2008-01-12]
I got this for my 7 year old last year for Christmas. He loved it, we played quite a bit. It isn't a very complicated game and I'm not sure how much he learned from it, but it is fun to play. Easy to grow out of though.

This game has great potential; the version we got is backwards which is confusing to my kids. For example, the directions say yellow represents thousands, blue hundreds, green tens etc but it's obviously opposite, so a serious flaw in the actual production of the game. We just changed it as we played but it's a drag. My son (7) loves it though.

Helped me teach my son large numbers in about half an hour [Posted on 2008-01-24]
I got this board game as a Christmas gift for my 5-year old son. I had been having a hard time getting him to recognize any numbers outside of double-digits but this game had him reading numbers in the thousands in no time.

As others have mentioned, the board can get crowded with more than two players however.

We're moving our way into the more advanced versions of the game and this simple $20 board game has turned into one of his favorite Christmas gifts.
