Peaceable Kingdom Race to the Treasure! Award Winning Beat the Ogre Cooperative Game for Kids

I got this for brothers who are too competitive to play normal board games lol!It was really fun. Simple to understand but hard to win sometimes. Love that it is eco friendly too. Really sturdy, looks nice.

This is a fun cooperative game where you all play together as a team to try and get to the treasure before the troll does. I liked that it was simple to set up and play, and the children (4 and 6) could both play it together

My 4 and 6 year olds like this game, and it's nice that they are playing together rather than against each other. Plus it's simple enough for me to let them play together without needing any help. Would recommend.

Peaceable Kingdom have done it again. Another brilliant co-operative game, had us howling with excitement to see if we could defeat the ogre. Easy but interesting to set up, my 6 yr old daughter was making a strategy before we'd even started playing. Excellent to help family members bond! Thanks, Peaceable Kingdom!

Teaches basic team work. Makes a great change for kids to play together instead of against each other.

Bought for my granddaughter's 4th birthday and now played a few times. She is familiar with other competitive and co-operative games and loves this one. It has a good level of new learning: co-ordinates to place the key cards, deciding the best use of the path cards. Also there is excitement each time an ogre card is picked up, especially towards the end as it usually gets to be a tight race. Interesting enough for adults to enjoy too and you can encourage problem solving and decision making discussion around the laying of paths. Good game for families or groups of friends with a range of ages as the older ones can support younger children.

This is a good little game for children under 8. You play as a team in a race against the Ogre to get to the treasure 1st. Easy to play you roll 2 dice to place 4 keys & an Ogre snack on the game board and the rest is just turning over cards which will either be a path or an Ogre. If it is a path you have to work out between you which direction to take on the game board to collect 3 of the 4 keys you need and possibly the Ogre snack which can be used to slow the Ogre down. If you turn over an Ogre card you place it on the Ogre's route to the treasure which is a straight route. Your route is longer than the Ogres but there are more path cards than Ogre cards. Part of the excitement for kids is what card will be turned over next and can you collect the keys and get your path to the treasure before the Ogre. I have played this quite a few times with my just turned 7 year old granddaughter and she has enjoyed it. On average you probably beat the Ogre 4 out of 5 times. Game lasts about 5-10 minutes.

Grandson loves this game.
