His 2.5 year old sister can play this one, too. The quality and craftsmanship is exceptional. The cooperative nature of it is fantastic. Everyone who plays is on the same team, trying to collect all the fruit in the orchard before the raven does. We get extra fun out of it by yelling "No ravens! No ravens!" when we roll the die. At the end, the kids jump up with excitement and dance around the room, singing "We beat the raven, we beat the raven." I much prefer this to having them taunt each other about one kid winning and the other not! The only knock on this game is the raven puzzle in the middle - it's tough to put together so the kids can't do that part themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars
family fun & cooperative game, January 9, 2007
By 
Bret A. Hiatt “Jen & Bret” (Ketchikan, AK United States) –
This review is from: Orchard (Toy)

I bought this for my niece who is four. She loves it and asks to play it everyday. We played it 7 times the first day! The beauty of this game is that everyone wins. The object is to beat the raven, not each other. This is a wonderful introduction to board games for young children, the rules are simple and the game itself is durable. I highly recommend it!

There's only one other drawback: when you roll the die, it has a tendency to make a royal mess of the board.

This game is easy to play. Even our 2-year-old is able to join in. The pieces are cute and durable, with the exception of the baskets, which eventually I’m sure will get crushed by a foot or rear end. (The good news is that the baskets aren’t essential to the game and you could easily substitute any other kind of container.) Our 4-year-old is in a “sore loser” stage where losing anything sends her into a crying, screaming fit. But the cooperative nature of this game, where everyone is on the same team, means she deals with losing (to the raven) much better, and we get to model “good sport” losing to her. One great thing about this game is it doesn’t last forever. It takes about 10-15 minutes to play. There’s only one other drawback: when you roll the die, it has a tendency to make a royal mess of the board. We’re teaching our girls to roll the die on the carpet instead of onto the board.
