Peaceable Kingdom Cauldron Quest Cooperative Potions and Spells Game for Kids

I have given this to three different families and they all have loved it! They said it's a great way to help show kids how working cooperatively is the way to achieve a goal. They said the game is fun and keeps kids attention without having competition against each other. Everyone wins or everyone loses. Highly recommend this game. The children were ages 6 and up.

A really fun game that kids can get into quickly. It takes a bit of reading the rulebook but once you get the point of the game its really fun and easy. All the players play together strategically. Everyone experiences the success or failure of a players turn, which makes the game great for everyone. It keeps it competitive without having very young kids trying to compete against one another. Fun for any age though as every game can be a win or lose. Takes about 25-30 minutes your game and then 15-20 for future games as you'll understand what you're doing. Our 8 year old daughter can't get enough of this game.

Our family loves Peaceable Kingdom games. We have several and are glad we added this one to our collection. Fun to play for all ages.

My 6 and 4 year old boys really like this game. A cooperative game is refreshing for us since the 6 year old naturally outmatches the 4 year old in most games.The premise is fairly simple for the adults, but a reasonable challenge for most 6 and 4 year olds. The adults will probably get the most enjoyment out of helping the kids. My guess is that in a few years we'll sell this one for more of a challenge, but for now it is a regular favorite.The pieces are excellent quality, the rules are clear, and the game mechanics are solid. It takes about 15-20 minutes to play, which is perfect for young attention spans. The game quality really shines if you use it as a teaching tool for decision making. Adults: refrain from taking charge! Guide the kids in making good, considered decisions! Let them make mistakes and help them learn from them. And have fun!

I got this to play with my grandkids who ranged from 7 to 13. Worked well for those ages, and us adults too. It was fun and easy to learn how to play. Great co-op game with a fun theme. It was great to see the youngest working on a strategy so we could all win. We played it several times, the replay factor was good as it changes every time you play. Well worth the price.

I've played a lot of children's cooperative games and often I find that they are cooperative only in spirit. They have a rule that everyone has to win or no one wins, and while guided by an adult you can continue to share that point. Unfortunately, a young child who is falling behind the group can still feel like they are loosing even when there is no individual loss written into the rules.Cauldron Quest is not like that at all. This is a truly cooperative game where everyone is working toward a shared goal and there is no player token to track if one child is doing better than another. It is interesting enough that my children have played it with a wide variety of the adults in their life to everyone's enjoyment and simple enough that they can set it up and play a game on their own. They have even taught friends how to play. I love this game!

We love this game

I use this game during free choice time in my kindergarten class. Initially, you have to teach it, and help them learn about all the rules for rolling the two sets of dice. After they've played a few times, they know it and teach it to other kids. And there is some good learning in there re: even and odd numbers, and an option of getting the dice roll to equal 12. I LOVE how they get so excited to work together to beat the wizard. It's so different from competitive games. When they lose to the wizard, they're bummed, but they're together in losing and there are no tears. This is a great game for learning to take turns, talk about options/strategies, and work together toward a common goal.
