    Simple Mario-Themed Game That Kids Will Enjoy

    We got this for our kids for Christmas because they love Mario, and it’s been a hit with them! There’s not much skill involved, but there are just enough choices to make it feel like you’re doing more than just spinning the wheel and seeing what happens.One thing to be aware of is the “gotcha” cards. They let you steal someone else’s star (which normally takes a few turns to earn), coins, or even make someone skip their turn.

    Easy Family Game

    Great family game for kids that are 6 and up. It's not like your typical Life game. It's a fast and simple way of playing with the young ones. My son loves it. There is no insurance or having kids involved. It's collection of stars to beat the boss.

    A family game

    I liked that this game is suitable for a family to play together. It does take a while though. Each time we've played it has taken around an hour.
