Bought this for my two gurls 5 & 3 for christmas and they love it – more so the 5 year old who can play it against her dad and beat him already! The 3 year old needs help with strategy but loves the pushing the blocks through.
Quite fast paced memory game. Good for the brain. It’s fun and for a quick family time together if you don’t mind losing to competitive children. I think there are different ones to get just like Top Trump cards.
We have this game in our family for a 5 and 8 year old (they come in different themes – not just princesses) and I bought this as a gift for my friend’s 5 year old, who absolutely loves it. It helps to build some forward thinking and tactical play, but is also fun. My friend sent me a photo this Christmas of her husband and brother-in-law playing the game well after the children had gone to bed!
Got this for my 4 years niece but she is still too little to understand this game. The box says 4+ . Overall, the game looks nice and interesting but would recommend for older kids.
Great little game. My toddler likes using it to post the cubes In And play her own game
Amazing game. Packs into itself for easy transportation. Super quality and so much fun for kids of all ages (adults too!) Definitely a must for the games cupboard
This is a fab game, The only issue we have is that the blocks are quite tough to push through which we was not expecting because we have the avengers version to this game with no problems.
Sweet game, a little hard for my 6 year old but she’s getting there. Although it’s in a great travel case I would find it quite heavy to carry on the aeroplane:
I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. It is a fun quick game. Set up can take a while as you need to ensure there are no duplicates in a row or column to start. I bought this on offer.
My daughter loves this game. The downside is the pieces fall out quickly and they do slide about which can be very frustrating. Also setting up can be frustrating because you have to close it from one side then lay it down put the pieces in and then close both sides so the bits don’t fall out. So can be annoying. But I do like it. Just don’t play it if you’re feeling angry.
Got this for my niece, she loves it I hate it, she always wins and she’s only 9! But yeah it’s a fun game, the Disney princesses and keeps you on your toes. Yeah I’d recommend this, it is a funny game (just not for me!)
My daughter is five and this game looks like Disney threw up on it so we’re already on to a winner. As enough people hare already said, the premise is simple enough, requiring that each players makes a row of five princesses, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. My daughter doesn’t struggle with this at all, though I thought she might. She still can’t work out Connect 4 but then again, you have to plan ahead more in that game. With this you simply push out a block where you want to put one to make your line.
There’s a very odd rule at the end where once someone makes a line, you all look at your cards and if your card matches the other line, you suddenly become the winner. Seems a bit or a pointless rule to me so we just don’t bother with it.
Still, it’s a very good quality game and feels quite robust. Now we just need to wait four years for her younger sister to be old enough to understand it and play with her!
This is a really fun game for two people to play and is great for a bit of family fun. The object of the game is to get 5 characters in a row either diagonally, vertically or horizontally. The game does take a little bit of getting used to and although the ages on the packet say it can be played from age 4, my suspicion is that at this young age the rules may not be strictly adhered to and it may just be fun popping the cubes out and putting them back again. Older children will find more to work with in the game as you do need to think about different elements and have a bit of a plan. We have played this with a 6 year old girl who loved it and really enjoyed being matched against adults.
The game itself seems well constructed and is not flimsy in any way. It feels reassuringly heavy and solid which is great because so many games get rough treatment by children it’s good to know this one should withstand quite a beating.
The fact that the game packs away nicely into a case you can carry around is great. We have a lot of games in their battered old cardboard boxes held together with bits of tape and the fact that the packaging from this game can be recycled and does not need keeping is great. This also means that you end up with a smaller item to store and that it will be more robust than a cardboard box so it’s less likely to fall apart and risk losing the pieces. As there is a small handle it also makes it portable so you can take it away with you if you are off on holiday etc.
At 19 it is a reasonable investment but I would not say is overpriced considering other games on the market.
Really nice little game that’s simple to set up and easy to play the objective being to get 5 matching princess figures in a row. There is an odd twist in that each player also gets two princess cards which if one of them matches the figure of their opponent’s row means that they win the round. Some may wish to omit this step in the interest of familial harmony! The game is packaged in a sturdy carry case as well which is a nice touch.
Top Trumps meets Connect 4 meets Disney! As a girly-girl, my niece loved playing this game. It’s good fun, but also challenging as it requires a little bit of strategic thinking, so it doesn’t get boring quickly. It took a few turns for her to get the hang of it – she’s five – so I might question the 4+ age recommendation, as it seems a little ambitious.
The game itself is small enough to be easily stored when not in use, and it’s easy to tidy away, which we all know is a must when it comes to small children!
This game using Disney Frozen animated film as a selling medium is near to knots and crosses but using bricks. It comes all in one container like a little suitcase with clear sides to keep everything together, This is also the board that you use to play. The sides fold down to hold some cards and the bricks as you play. For two people who sit on either side of the game. Each block has 8 pictures of the different characters from the film and what each player is trying to do is get 5 blocks with the same picture in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. A larger longer version of knots and crosses. Each player is given two cards from a small pack which you can use at the end to alter the result. The first move is that the top left block is pushed out what ever it happens to be. The player on the opposite side picks it up and then tries to use it to start one of their rows. By pushing this block in it pushes the block out which other player then again tries to built a row, sounds complicated but it’s not. The game is indicated as being for 4 plus, I thought 4 the minimum age. Once the the children catch on it became quite competitive between them. Some of the matches lasted a long time others didn’t. I thought it was very good and certainly in a bracket above easy board games where you throw a dice and take pot luck. All in the Frozen colours and because it’s in Pink most likely played by girls. Nicely presented package.
Don’t let the Top Trumps name make you think this is expensive as it is a lot more than a game of top trumps, you get a lovely board that is chunky with some great disney dice that get placed within the five by five square. My middle daughter loved playing this with me this morning as she is a huge Disney fan (as am I) and managed to beat me three games to one. It is very easy to play (maybe 5 years upwards) and recommended.
My daughter aged 7 likes the game, which I could describe as a variation on a marriage between Connect 4 and Battleships.
The product itself is robust and well made and can be transported in its own case and kept tidy and in one place for storage. I think the age rating is about right but slightly older players will get more out of if. Younger players may just think the game is about pushing cubes out rather than the objective of getting five cubes in a row.
It is a simple game with a slight hint of strategy but in general I don’t think little ones will think too much about which cube to push out. Your aim is to get five identical cubes in a row, the opposing player is trying to do the same while you are both trying to stop them winning by pushing cubes out.
The Top Trump ‘element’ is that each player has been dealt a card that is kept face down during the game. If you win the cubes in a row or the “Match” you can still be beaten on the turn of the card if the opponents card matches your row and your card does not. At first I thought what’s the point in bothering with getting the cubes in a row if all that winning the game hinges on is ‘chance’.
However after playing it and losing three times on the turn of the card I can say it adds to the fun but it is really annoying!
It’s good for an hour to while away the time but I am on the fence as to the price of the product.
My daughters enjoyed this game. You have to push out blocks and take turns putting them back in to make 5 in a row.
The branding was very attractive to my kids.
This is a great game of strategy for younger players, dressed up with an appealing Disney princess theme. Like all good games it has a simple idea which can be executed at varying degrees of complexity. The idea is to get 5 in a row of the same princess by slotting in a cube into the grid – of course as you place it so that you get the princess you want, this pushes out a princess from your opponents side and gives them a new princess in her place – which can be very frustrating if you have nearly completed your row!!! You can be very sneaky and work out where your opponents row is and try to sabotage it, or just play simply and co-operatively if you are playing against a younger player.
To be honest I didn’t like the bit about turning over 2 cards to see if you or your opponent wins at the end and I felt it had been tacked onto the game in an attempt to include some “top trump” element just so it could have the brand name – we played with this the first time round and then promptly deliberately “forgot” about it after that! I also liked the idea that the pieces all fit into the case and it packs away neatly and can be used when travelling as there is only ever one piece out of the frame at a time! A good boredom buster for rainy half term days and would make a lovely Christmas present too.
This is a high quality product. I was quite surprised at how heavy it was – it’s not a clumsy, throw-away toy and will be played with for a very long time.
I think it’s quite educational, as it reaches children to expand their memory while having fun, and improves mental acuityi.
Having a recognisable name is half the battle when it comes to toys and everyone knows that the best battle cards are Top Trumps. However, how can Top Trumps expand their market beyond selling packets of cards? Rubix did it recently by creating loads of games and toys that have the Rubix name, but are not the cubes. It seems that Top Trumps are after something similar with their Match Games and in this case the ‘Disney Princess Top Trumps Match Game’.
As a board game of sorts, it is excellent. It feels like a variation on ‘Connect 4’ but uses cubes to mix up what matches you can find. The players sit opposite one another and take turns putting a cube in trying to get five in a row. This in turn pushes out a cube on the other side and that player has to add this one back in – will it have the Disney Princess they require on one of its six sides? The fact that you can search for so many different characters and choose to try and make your own matches, or sabotage your opponent means that this is a more challenging game than ‘Connect 4’ and still great fun. The game is 4+, but is more suited for children slightly older as the game itself is best served by someone who can think tactically about their next few moves.
As well as being a well thought out game, it is also built exceptionally. The cubes themselves are sturdy and the stickers well attached. Being a Disney IP means that it will appeal to lovers of the characters from Cinderella all the way to the modern day. All the cubes are housed within the game as the perspex sides fold up to keep the game tidy, it really is a well designed piece of kit.
The only real issue with the game is the crowbarred nature of the Top Trumps themselves. The official game suggests that you pick two cards each and keep them turned down. When one of you matches five your opponent turns their cards – if they match the Princesses you collected, then they win. You have been Top Trumped. This just does not work, younger children will be devastated that their hard won victory has been stolen, whilst the more aware may feel like they had gained a hollow victory. House rules may have to come into play; either no cards, or how about you pick a card each, don’t tell your opponent what you are after and then try and connect 5 with this character – tactics will come into play. Another choice would be to see the two cards you have immediately and play a game where you try to match 5 whilst also tricking your opponent to into picking one of your cards – therefore forcing a Top Trump win.
As a rule the cards themselves are probably not needed, but the game itself is great fun and built brilliantly. At least with the cards you can play variations of the game, which should add even more to the fun.
Got this for the 4 year old and year old and i have to say i think its probably too advanced for the 4 year old. the 4 year old is capable of matching but he gets upset when his brother pushes ‘his’ cubes out and he doesnt seem to understand why its happening. That said he does still enjoy the game but not played properly! im sure it’ll turn up) they are nice and light and the stickers are well attached so being handled roughly doesnt seem to affect them.
I like the extra touches to the game, being able to ‘steal’ the win, using the cards, but so far i havent used it as we have had enough tears without that but with older children im sure they would understand it and get less upset.
With the children being so young the cubes have also become missiles so we have currently lost one (its in the front room somewhere
The carry case is brilliant, it seals all the cubes and cards in so they cant fall out while being stored or carried, so it’d be very handy for travel too.
Id recommend it for older children because the pictures are quite small and the game requires a bit of understanding. The younger one enjoys matching the pictures on his own though!
The girls wanted to play with this so much and it is fun and can have a funny twist at the end. The whole thing is well made and sturdy and can survive OK without the box.
The cubes are loaded so no matching faces in vertical/horizontal lines/diagonals. Then two cards are drawn from the deck and shuffled/picked and placed face down on their positions in front of each player. Player one then pushes out the top left cube so it falls to the opponents side. Player 2 then picks up the cube and uses it to push out any other cube in the grid. You repeat this until you can get 5 matches characters either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. You cannot push out a cube that was placed on the turn before. When you have done this and you have 5 in a row, you shout out ‘Match!’
That winning player then shows the other player their two cards. The losing player then turns over their cards and if either of the cards match the winning players’s line of 5, then they win! That’s the twist.
The kids played it a few times to get used to it and I think it was a hit.
This is a great twist on the Top Trumps game – mixes the card game with a sort of ‘connect 4’ type game using cubes that are pushed in and out of position. It’s a fantastic family game – even for those who consider themselves ‘too old’ for Disney Princesses!
This a slightly more involved and developed toy than the name suggests- it had the construction and format of connect for and can be played on a floor or table top with a player either side of the frame and has endless options . Getting children to have interaction that doesn’t involve a screen/ and packs of cards aren’t to hand-/ is really key and this is a fun game with the much loved Disney characters.
