    No more Candyland- This is an AWESOME game!This is a phenomenal game that my kids love to play. Until now, we had only the old games like Candyland and Chutes & Ladders. We barely played games because I couldn't stand to play with them. They also tend to get competitive, which could sour even a fun game.But this game is different. It's a cooperative game in which all players, together, must get the owls (3-6, depending on difficulty) into the nest before the sun rises. There is no reading or numbers involved. The only skill needed is color matching, so even my 2 year old can play. She especially loves to get dramatic each time the sun moves closer to rising. There is also room for strategy, so the older kids can enjoy working their minds.As the owls near the nest and the sun gets closer to sunrise, you can feel the excitement in the room, something you never feel when your sibling is about to beat you at Candyland. I don't feel that the game is teaching that 'everyone is a winner, everyone deserves a trophy' because you don't always win. It's a group effort but the group can definitely lose. It teaches them that when we work together, we can accomplish so much more.As per a different review, we changed the rules slightly to allow one who has to play a sun card to refill his hand and play another card.In short- great game for ages 2-6 and maybe even older! 5I think it's great for them to get exposure to the conceptI work as a speech therapist in an elementary school and I use this game in therapy, usually as a motivator/to break up practicing sounds (e.g. say your word ten times and then take your turn with the game!). The concept of a "cooperative game" is confusing for the littler kids (and some of the older, more delayed kids) on my caseload at first--the kindergarteners usually insist that one of the owls is "their" owl and get mad at other kids for moving it. I have to explain that "we're ALL helping ALL the owls!" many times. I think it's great for them to get exposure to the concept, though, and they seem to have fun even if they're not quite sure what's going on! Once all the owls get home I get to declare excitedly that we all won and everybody high-fives each other, which is great--when we play competitive games, somebody often gets real upset they didn't win and accuses the winner of cheating. I like this a lot better :) To make the gameplay faster and simple enough for lower-level kids, I usually just have kids pull the top card off the deck and play it right away, like in Candyland. 5take out some suns, not the owlsThe game suggests using fewer owls at the beginning or for younger children so the game is easier to win, however I suggest taking out some of the sun cards. I work with children of varying ages and if I left all the sun cards in the stack they would lose every time. If you make it through the whole stack of cards the sun wins, so I usually take out 3 or 4 of them so that when we have to restart the stack of cards (because my clients never get all the owls to the nest before then, even when using half the owls) we can keep playing instead of letting the sun win while 5 of the 6 owls are still on the board. If I played with adults then this game would have much more strategy, but considering it is for children the current ratio of color cards to sun cards is not great. 4Good game for kidsMy daughter who is 5 loves this game and asks me to play it with her all the time. It does build strategic thinking skills. I normally ask her what cards I should play with when I play with her and hint to her what would be the best move. It would be more interesting if there was another child involved in the game play. I do like the aspect where we are working together to win at something. Some things in life are very cooperative or teamwork is needed. It also allows me to help the child figure out a strategy to win the game.The game has different challenge levels too, which I do like very much. In the very beginning, my daughter wanted to do all the owls, which is 6, rather than do 3. We could not finish the game. Once she got the hang of the game, we are able to do all owls. 5Perfect first game for kids!If you're looking for a great game for pre-k to early grade school age children you can't go wrong with Hoot Owl Hoot!This is a cooperative game where you are racing to get between 4 and 6 owls home to their nest before the sun comes up - use more owls to increase the difficulty. The game consists of playing cards with different colors to move the owls along the board. Each turn you play one card, move an owl to that color and then draw another card. If you draw a sun card, the sun advances, and if it advances too far you lose.This game is a great introduction to strategy for young children. We bought this for my 4 year old son about a year ago and have watched as he has started to figure out what are good and bad moves. He still enjoys the game and asks to play it over a year after purchase. 5Great Family GameIn an effort to spend more family time together, we got a number of board games for Christmas and this was one of them. I just played it for the first time tonight with my 3 3/4-year-old . I'd gotten it due to the good reviews and her love of owls. It could have featured banana slugs and we still would have loved it. The basic gameplay is simple enough for my youngest to be able to actively participate, but engaging enough that I honestly had fun playing it several times in a row.I was skeptical about how much fun my competitive little girl would have with a cooperative game play dynamic, but she really had a blast. We discussed strategy and the best way to get the owls home. It was simple enough for her to understand it easily, but I'm also sure that my 8yo will have a blast with it. I'll take this ahead of Candyland any day of the week.Since my daughter's favorite Avenger is the Hulk for a reason, some of the big things I look for in games are 1) How easily destroyed are the pieces and 2) How easy will it be for me to try to make my own replacements when she does inevitably destroy things. Not only are the board, the card and the tokens made of sturdy stock, there's a note on the inside of the box about contacting the company for free replacement parts if anything gets lost or broken. 5Excellent cooperative game for young children This is an excellent board game for young children to practice color recognition and beginning team strategy. My children at 4 and 7 enjoyed playing this game and requested it quite often during board game sessions with me. They're now 5 and 8 and they still request it from time to time. I as the adult also enjoy playing it with them.In the game players work together to move from 4 to 6 owls (depending on the desired difficulty) down the colored track to their nest before the sun comes up. Owl tokens are placed on the start places of the track. Players then draw hands of three cards. Every turn they play a card and draw another one. Most of the cards have colors on them. Whatever color is on the card played is the color any of the owls can move to. Owls must always move to the next instance of a given color on the board, unless another owl is already on that space. If the space is occupied, the owl may skip along the board to the next instance of the color. In this way players can get their owls to move quickly down the board if they work together to choose the same color in a row on their turns. Some of the cards have a sun token on them. If one of the sun cards is drawn a little sun marker is moved along a sun path at the top of the board. All the owls must make it to the nest before the sun gets to the end of the sun path. Then everyone wins.This game can be thought of as a much improved version of Candy Land. While Candy Land might be okay for two year olds and younger three year olds, this game works much better for later three year olds up through about six or seven. I wouldn't buy it for an eight year old, but older children will enjoy playing this with their younger siblings, as is the case with us. In this game there are small strategic decisions that the children can make to affect the outcome of the game. The strategy is definitely not deep, but it is at a nice level for young ones. It is definitely enough strategy to get the children thinking and practicing working together. This ups the players' higher order thought usage well beyond Candy Land, where there is no strategy involved in gameplay at all. Even with the best use of strategy in the game, there is enough luck that you will still sometimes lose (as you can see us do in our video). This is particularly the case if you play the hardest level of the game with all the owls. Of course there are other times when the luck aspect works in your favor and you still manage to win while using less than optimal strategy. All told, the game strikes a good balance between luck and strategy.The components are colorful and the illustrations are cute. All the pieces are made of biodegradable recycled cardboard. Unfortunately the cardboard for the cards is quite thin and flimsy. For that reason I knocked it down a star because if this game were to be used in a classroom I would recommend laminating the cards. Of course then those cards are no longer biodegradable, which sort of defeats one of the advertising points of the company...So to sum up, I would definitely recommend this game to both parents and teachers, of children in preschool through first grade, looking for a fun game involving color recognition and light strategy. For another great game utilizing color recognition and light strategy in a competitive, rather than cooperative, format check out Monza. 4Cute game, I added game piecesI sometimes play games with younger students and they don't always respond well to competitive games. While I do think it is important that children do learn to lose, I wanted a game that did not emphasize competitiveness with each other (versus competing with the game itself.)This is a simple game where kids draw cards to move little owl tokens back to a nest. It is very similar to Candyland in that you don't need to know numbers or reading to move, it is just colors. There are also sun cards for a separate game track for a sun. The object is to get all the owls back to the nest before enough the sun cards are drawn to move the sun to "morning." So you are trying to draw a color card, not a sun card. Simple.The idea for the game is cute because the kids are moving the owls together, not their particular owl and the team is competing against the sun winning. I understand that the game is sustainable and make entirely of paper, but I didn't really like the tokens being flat, cardboard disks. I bought these little owls which are actually pencil toppers but they work well. You only get 4 of each color so if you want more owls, you will have to mix colors or buy two sets. When I tried to let kids pick different colors, they ended up wanting to move only THEIR owl, defeating the non-competitive nature of the game. I also used a pencil topper for the sun, but the owls are cuter. 5This is a great game. The object is to get all the ...This is a great game. The object is to get all the owls to the nest before the sun goes up. First you decide how many owls you want to play with (4, 5, or 6); the more owls you use, the more challenging the game. You put the owls in the starting positions and then everyone places 3 cards in front of them. Some cards have colors, others have a sun. If you have a sun, you must move the sun one space on your turn. If you have only colors, you have to choose which color you will play. The owl of your choice will move to the next available space of the color on the card you play (If you play a purple card and the next purple space is occupied by an owl, your owl will hop over that one to the next unoccupied purple space). This way players are always deciding what the next best move is based on their cards and looking at the other player's cards. Sometimes if you have the same color as another player, the best move is for both of you to play that color so the owls can go further by hopping over each other. It's a great reasoning and cooperative game for small kids. 5Excellent game and really well designedThis game was bought for my 4 year old who wants to win in all the games he played. Since this is a cooperative game, he now understood the concept of team work and he always wants to play as a team. He loves to say "hoot hoot" every time and this game is played by my 4 year old and his 10 year old sibling. Its hard to see them working together but this game is the one where they play together and have real fun.The package itself was very cute and well designed and really appreciate the effort the peaceful kingdom had taken in being green and reusing and reducing the waste. I really liked the fact that the instructions were printed on the cover and also the cute storage pouch (environment friendly) to store the owl's and sun. I wish I could have found this game sooner. We love playing this game as a family, Highly recommend it 5
