HABA Rhino Hero Game - Card Games for Kids, Ideal for Ages 5 & up - The Heroic Rhino Hero Stacking Card Game Adventure - Triple Award Winner...

My almost 5yo adores this game. We dont use all the rules to make it a bit more collaborative than the included directions, I think it would be adaptable depending on the age and temperament of your kiddo. Easy to learn, great if your kid likes building things.

Easy to learn and so much fun. It gives kids a chance to learn the concepts of cooperation, good sportsmanship (dont gloat when your opponent topples the tower), balance, patience, finesse, and structural integrity! Weve had so many laughs while playing this game. A winner!

Great game play and concept. If this review was just for game play I would give it 5 stars. I have been looking up games to play with my 5 year old, and this is a winner and am glad I bought it. For a game to be good to play with my son, it has to have some strategy involved (not just a spinner and chance - that does not keep my son's attention). This is a better version of a block stacking game because it involves a good amount of skill. Not only do you place walls on a roof card in an assigned manner, but you have you have cards that tell you to skip a players turn, reverse the direction of the turns, add a card to the next players hand, allow you to place two of your roof cards, and my favorite - put Rhino Hero on a floor. My only issues are with manufacturing. The card stock used is adequate, and feels substantial enough for play long term. However, the roof cards do have slight curving from packaging which does affect game play (might have a bigger impact than I realize, but is mainly noticeable on cards where you can play two roof cards at once and they don't sit flat). The last thing that I wish they had thought of was better boxing. Many games (which are cheaper) have a box that fits the cards with dividers, etc. In this one you cannot even put the wall cards back in the box still bent because the box height is too short so you have to unbend the cards for storage (and worry about the cards sliding into one another, ruining them because there is no divider). Overall though, based on game play we are very happy to put this in our game rotation.

Rhino Hero is so much fun. It's even mesmerizing to watch the tower grow when you're not playing. It doesn't require reading, so even very young kids can play. Adults and teens thoroughly enjoy it (with or without kids playing). At this price, it makes a great birthday present. Our set has been played for at least a decade in so many settings. It's a nice small box, so it travels well too. The game takes maybe 2 minutes to learn/teach, and then it's fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat fun. For additional thrills, play in rooms with ceiling fans.

I played this Christmas day with my 7 and 5 year old kids. They loved the artwork and the little wooden Rhino hero. We were able to get a pretty substantial tower together. It is very fast to play and setup, there is some room for improvisation and tweaking the rules to fit the needs of your family too. Similar to UNO where house rules can help either enrage or make the game more fun. This will for sure stay in the rotation of games we play since it can be setup/cleaned up very fast and if the kids tire after a few rounds we can easily pivot to a different game. Could be a good warm up game too if you are having a game night with some couples and you want to just get everyone talking/focused on game mode rather than diving straight into a more complex game.
