Peaceable Kingdom Cauldron Quest Cooperative Potions and Spells Game for Kids

This is a great game for kids and adults to play together. Players work together to beat the witch!

We love this game

I have given this to three different families and they all have loved it! They said it's a great way to help show kids how working cooperatively is the way to achieve a goal. They said the game is fun and keeps kids attention without having competition against each other. Everyone wins or everyone loses. Highly recommend this game. The children were ages 6 and up.

This is a cute little family game. The gameplay is pretty simplistic, and there isn't a lot of strategy, but it's fun. It would probably be best for a family with younger children - I think 4-7 might be the ideal range.The way it works is that there are a certain number of pieces with hidden ingredients that are along paths to a cauldron, and there's a wizard hat that blocks those paths. These pieces are the ones that move. You are trying to get the right ingredients into the cauldron before the wizard blocks all the paths. To do this, you roll two dice to determine which ingredient you can move, or if you look at the hidden ingredients, move the wizard, or block a path. The strategy is in deciding which ingredients to move and look at, and there's a memory component in remembering which ingredient is where.It's very simple for adults and older kids, but a group of smaller children would probably love it. It's a bit similar to Trouble.

Our family loves Peaceable Kingdom games. We have several and are glad we added this one to our collection. Fun to play for all ages.

I got this to play with my grandkids who ranged from 7 to 13. Worked well for those ages, and us adults too. It was fun and easy to learn how to play. Great co-op game with a fun theme. It was great to see the youngest working on a strategy so we could all win. We played it several times, the replay factor was good as it changes every time you play. Well worth the price.

I've played a lot of children's cooperative games and often I find that they are cooperative only in spirit. They have a rule that everyone has to win or no one wins, and while guided by an adult you can continue to share that point. Unfortunately, a young child who is falling behind the group can still feel like they are loosing even when there is no individual loss written into the rules.Cauldron Quest is not like that at all. This is a truly cooperative game where everyone is working toward a shared goal and there is no player token to track if one child is doing better than another. It is interesting enough that my children have played it with a wide variety of the adults in their life to everyone's enjoyment and simple enough that they can set it up and play a game on their own. They have even taught friends how to play. I love this game!

My 2 boys, age 6 and 3, LOVE this game. We have had it for about a month and they still ask to play it almost every day. If they don't ask... it's only because they got busy that day and didn't have time. They also enjoy playing it over and over on any given day. Seriously, they can't get enough of it. The game only lasts about 10 minutes... so I don't mind playing it either. It is fairly well made and very easy to learn.Overview (very basic): You have a cauldron in the middle of the board that you need to get three specific ingredients in before the wizard stops you. You get your ingredients in by rolling different things and moving the potions along the board. The wizard tries to stop you by blocking your paths. Whether you move or the wizard does... is determined by the roll of your dice.
