 GREAT FUN & EDUCATIONAL AT THE SAME TIME!Jul 07, 2010
By Kathleen McTaggart
"don5kathy"
I bought this game for my 3-year-old granddaughter. This is a simple match game where you turn over all the squares where you can't see the pictures. Then you pick one and turn it face up; then one by one you try to find the matching train. If you don't you turn that piece back over. My granddaughter has learned all the names of each train, & she remembers where certain pieces are. She plays with it every time she comes over & 2 other people can play too. So, we spend quality time together playing a fun, educational game. It's great!

The Simple Matching Game Done RightJan 13, 2012
By Irene in Boston
This is a fantastic memory / make-a-match game. My 3-year-old boy is a huge Thomas & Friends fan, and he loves it.
There are 54 cards, which means 27 pairs and plenty of variety. Each pair features a different character, and the set includes all the main characters (like Thomas, Gordon, and James), lots of secondary characters (like Rosie, Emily, and Spencer), and even obscure characters like construction vehicles and other engines whose names I don't even know! If Amazon allowed for 1/2 stars, I'd probably have given the game 4 1/2 stars, only because it would have been nice if each character's name were printed on the card, too.
The cards are square-shaped and made out of thick, sturdy cardboard. They look like they will stand up well to frequent use.
A lot of people might think that since memory / make-a-match games are basically just sets of cards, one set should be just as good as another. But for the sake of comparison, let me tell you what I don't like about my older daughter's Disney Princess memory cards. First, they are basically miniature-sized playing cards, so they're made out of the same kind of material as playing cards - heavier than paper, but not exactly cardboard. In a 3-year-old's hands, they easily bend and fold and rip, so after a while, they're in kind of bad shape. Also, since the cards feature only princesses, and there are a limited number of princesses, the set resorts to recycling the same characters in different dresses and poses. When talking about the cards, we have to say, "the Jasmine wearing green" versus "the Jasmine wearing blue", or "Cinderella with her hands up" versus "Cinderella with her hands holding her dress". It's ridiculous and annoying. Compared to that game, I LOVE this Thomas & Friends set.

I love this puzzle, I was not expecting three matching games in one. My 3 year old loves this game and plays all the time.
Playing with my grandsonMay 05, 2012

I gave this game to my 2 year old grandson, thinking it would be a little difficult for his age. He loved it, and every time I go to his house, I have to play with him. He also plays by himself. It was a very good purchase.
Fun educational ToyMar 21, 2012
By Kitty Kat
When you give a gift sometimes you want to make fun and education a priority. This is the game for a young one. It introduces a fun way to match items and find success at doing a task. Fans of Thomas and friends will be especially happy to match up something they already know and will have them laughing about what they are matching. A great gift item for a birthday party or any other occasion to treat a young child. WE ordered this through Amazon.com so we could get it as soon as possible for a gift.
