Very good game! Perfect for spending a pleasant time with your child. You feel like one team and have the same purpose in the game. I recommend!

We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to be playtesters for this game.

The magnetic aspect is very fascinating and makes for a great gaming experience where the pieces stay in place (even when playing with younger kids).

Also really appreciate that there are several game modes to keep the game fun over and over.

The game is cooperative, and it's the team of players against the game, this makes it even more motivational for children.

Can't wait to own this game!

"Overall, I think Game of Hunt is fun. I'd say it's probably best targeted at its younger audience (and families that support them), but it's certainly doing a fine job hitting those high notes. My biggest gripe is that it sometimes seems unfocused; in trying to have four distinct games within one package, the games start to blur together and they feel less distinct. That said, they're all pretty light, so it may just be difficult to differentiate between four light games that share similar mechanics and largely use the same components. I think this may matter to me more than it'll likely matter to the target audience, though? They've got fairly different themes and pretty fun art and colors, so that might be enough to distinguish them. Plus, having the games be fairly similar mechanically makes the entire game system easier to learn ( / extend), which may be a further boon for the folks making the game? Perhaps I'm overthinking this. I think when I'm looking at family games, I'm generally most excited for games that have exciting and goofy dexterity mechanics (like ICECOOL or Catch the Moon) or games that are an excellent gateway into more complex board game mechanics (like Abandon All Artichokes). Game of Hunt isn't really either of those, per se, but it's a pleasant spatial game in its own right, so I still had a good time with it. I think I'm just really impressed by how smart having a fully-magnetic game is that isn't one of those crappy travel set board games that I grew up with in the 90s or whatever. Making the wooden cubes magnetic just gives the game a bit of visual clout that makes me take it a bit more seriously. If you are looking for a game that you can play with the family and you don't want to worry about lost pieces, Game of Hunt might be a good fit!"

Ok so my family had the honor of being one of the testers for this game and we were absolutely obsessed with it! My kids wanted to play it all the time and we absolutely enjoyed the experience. It is beautifully made, colors, characters and figures are visually appealing and just so cute! We loved the fact it’s magnetic, no more lost bricks and stress when someone moves the board :) Loved the fact that we are playing as a team and competing against the game, great for younger kids that are not yet quite familiar with fact that’s sometimes you’re gonna loose as well! My kids enjoyed learning to place figures on coordinates, and was happy to help collect the trash, pick up the mushrooms, and different direction winds were so much fun! There are four different boards, that uses same figures and same cards, but the story is different and so experience is different. You can easily adjust the game to be as easy or as difficult as you feel for. I cannot recommend this game enough!!!

Me and my kids were playtesters. We loved it in all possible ways. The co-op makes for very little arguing, which is important when playing with the family. Both the 6 year old and the 11 year old found the game interesting and challenging at the right level. The game is very durable, both component wise and in playtime (the kids could go on for ever). The setup is fast which is important when the kids are waiting to start the game. Highly recommended!
