Game Review - Spot It Jr.! Animals

About the Game 
Just like the original and popular Spot it!, but simplified for younger children, Spot it! Jr. Animals is a wonderful new addition to every family’s game closet. This captivating card game is an ideal break from video games and toys that rely on batteries to keep them running. With over 200 five-star reviews and ranked as the top selling card game for a year on Amazon, Spot it! has proved to be a best seller. After 12 years in the game business, Blue Orange has done it again by creating a version of its popular Spot it! game just for the little ones. Let the animal safari begin!

Spot it! Jr. Animals features 31 brightly colored cards with six different animal images on each card. With only one matching animal between any two cards, this delightful visual perception game is really fun for all kinds of kids, even with various ability levels. Included are 5 different party games to keep everyone entertained.

Spot it! Jr. Animal’s laminated, durable and eco-friendly cards are packaged in a sturdy tin canister, the perfect size for playing at home, stuffing into a backpack, and ideal for the family on the go. We know that video games, laser guns, remote-controlled cars and plastic ponies are also in the mix, but the more time away from these, the better!

“We love making back-to-basic games,” says Julian Mayot, co-founder and CEO of Blue Orange Games. “I think everyone finds that summer is the perfect time to simplify life— and because our games can be played almost anywhere, Spot it! Jr. Animals is a terrific and welcome escape from electronic games and gadgets.”

Children are natural learners and will love spotting the animals and matching them in this fast-paced game. Designed for children 4 and up, and for 2 to 6 players. Spot it! Jr. Animals can be bought online for $9.99 through Amazon.com, www.games.blueorangegames.com, or in stores across the country that carry Blue Orange products.

Spot it! is already a category leader —frequently #1 in the card game space, and #5 in general games on Amazon.com, in addition to winning over 10 influential industry awards since it hit the shelves in 2010. Spot it! has collected over 200 five-star reviews from happy customers on Amazon.com.

Spot it! Jr. Animals, a new edition “collectible” game is part of the Blue Orange Games Pocket Collection that will keep parents and their “wild things” discovering their inner animal for years to come—no binoculars required!

My Take on the Game
My kids love the original Spot It Game, so they were excited when they heard of a few new Spot It Games that were now on the market. This Spot it, is made specifically for younger players and their families. I appreciated this because my youngest has had to work harder to keep up when it comes to the original and travel Spot It! games that we have had in the past. The game is easy enough and encourages all to stay alert and encourages quick thinking. I love this game as a father because the game itself is interactive and engaging. I also love how easy this game is to transport, so no matter where you are going, this game simply slips into your bag for easy transport! The pictures on the cards are so colorful and vivid I could tell at once that my youngest was drawn to them and she truly enjoyed playing this game with me. Overall this is a great addition to the Spot It! line of games and as a dad I have to saw thank you for making a version of the game for younger audiences, my daughter and I completely appreciate it!
