Ravensburger My First Bugs in the Kitchen Board Games for Children Age 3 Years Up - 2 to 4 Players - Kids Gifts [Amazon Exclusive]

Good game, kids really enjoy playing and it’s nice and simple so suitable for all ages

The game is quite unique as the electronic bug vibrates and moves around the trail pushing balls into the holes..However, after a couple goes the kids were bored with it. Nice idea but gameplay needs a bit of work.

It is a great quality game from Ravensburger. Comes in a well-presented box, made with high quality thick cardboard. Typical Ravensburger quality including the components as well. The game is recommended for 3+ aged players and it can be played by 2 or 4 players. Each game takes about 10 minutes, quite fast paced game. The funniest element of the game is the nano mum bug, it looks a bit unnatural like a robot bug and it’s operating with a battery, it constantly vibrates, and this vibration makes the bug to move around the spiralled playing field. The rules are very simple, each player must place a crumb (a coloured ball) on the designated starting point and the nano bug will push this crumb into a small hole where to feed her little bugs with it. Whoever’s crumbs will run out first, will win. If I would only take in consideration the design, the quality, and the fun while we play with this, I would instantly give 5 stars for this boardgame, but from educational point of view is none. I can’t really see if this would teach anything for a 3+ year old child. Also, the whole game and the winner depends on the nano bug and on luck. There is no opportunity to interact, plan or to take decisions in order to win the game. I would also highlight that the coloured balls which represent the crumbs are pretty small, it easy to be swallowed by a 3 year old. All in all, it’s fun to play with this, my son always laughing on this vibrating bug, however in my opinion, this not a must have game. If you really like the idea of this game, I recommend buying the Bugs in the Kitchen Board Game for Kids for age 6 Years and Up, that version it is more complex comes with a dice and you have to interact and take decisions in the came in order to win.

Quick and simple game you can play in 10-15ins with 2-4 players. Aimed at very little ones, the aim is to help mummy bug to race through the pantry and push crumbs of food through the holes in the floorboards to feed her children. The winner is the one whose crumbs are gobbled up first! It is very simple and is bright and colourful with a three-dimensional pantry, 1x floorboard, 1x Mummy Bug, 16x food crumbs, 4x food crates, 4x food crate pictures, 1x barrier & 1x replacement barrier and instructions. There is no real skill in this game but it is a bit of fun and will keep a little one's attention for the time it takes to play the game. Just be aware, the crumbs are simply coloured balls but they are fairly small so I'd be extremely cautious with a little one under 5 playing this! A fab introduction to basic game play but other than that, not very interactive. You are however basically paying for the nano hex bug which is fun and can be played with outside of the game but is very basic. As always with Ravensburger, great quality, but a tad expensive for what is a very simple and basic game.

A younger version of the Bugs in the Kitchen game. As expected, high quality board with high quality print. Assembly and set up is quick Recommended
