I just have to start with:

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

My girls played probably ten rounds in the first couple of hours that I had the game out. It took them a little bit to get on to the concept as they'd never really played a game like this before.

A little more about the game:

There are four categories of animals (mammals, amphibians, reptiles and insects) and 2 x 20 of each animal. On the back of each card is some very brief information about where they live, what they eat, what color they are, their size. This information helps in asking questions to determine the other player's MVP (most valuable player).

So, K would start by asking a question like, "Is your mammal large?" C would respond with, "No." K would then take any large animal's card and drop it through the slot at the top of her stadium. Then C would take a turn. After a few questions back and forth, one of the girls would only have the MVP card on their stadium and would be the winner of that round.

By the time they stopped playing, their questions were getting more sophisticated. They weren't left to their own devises though. We had an adult friend visiting at the time too, and he got in on the action and so did their dad! It's a great game.

About the packaging:

The box is very sturdy and that is a very important thing in this house! My kids are rough on stuff! The stadiums came dissembled and in order to get everything back in the box, you have to return them to this state. I am disappointed with that. I would have liked to keep the stadiums together when we put the game together. That being said, the stadium pieces are sturdy enough to stand up to being put together and taken apart over and over again. I have not yet allowed the kids to do this task.

About the shipping:

The order arrived quickly and in great shape! I often have trouble with companies unable to find or send to my street address NOR are they able to send to a PO BOX. This has been very frustrating in the past. I don't know why and neither do they. I am guessing that because we live in the "boonies" of northern Alberta, they just can't find me. This WAS NOT the issue with CSN Stores.

Where to purchase:

One of CSN Stores many partners is All Children's Furniture. You can buy Science Stadium by Learning Resources here. To see other popular brands that All Children's Furniture sells, check out this link. I am amazed at the diversity and caliber of products and brands that have partnered with CSN Stores. I think you will be too!

I am a busy mom. We always seem to be doing something, going somewhere or having people into our home. I am so happy to have discovered CSN Stores. It's a one stop shopping place for everything from kids bedding, to cookware to home improvement, games and toys and shoes and baggage! For me, I think the best thing is that I can use my PayPal to purchase items at all these stores. Being a family without a credit card (on purpose) we sometimes have a hard time with shopping online. Not all stores advertise that they have PayPal so I am often going through a check out only to find out my cart has to be left behind because there is no payment option for PayPal.

Coming soon, I will be reviewing Learning Resources Science Stadium. This is a deductive reasoning science game for two players, ages seven and up. I only have two in that age group at this point, so hopefully we won't have too many disagreements. I have a plan though. I will make up a tournament! I'll let you know how our game time goes in my review.

Learning Resources** is a great company; I have enjoyed a few of their products in the last couple of years that we have been homeschooling.
