Brainbox Bounce Animals {Review}

We were delighted that Brainbox sent us there new Bounce Animals card game to test and review. We're a huge 'Family Games' family and just love all sitting down together to play games. We have played brainbox games before which we thoroughly enjoyed playing. Needless to say we were very excited to play Bounce Animals from Brainbox!


I just want to talk about the packaging for a moment. The cards come in a thick plastic case. Which is so much better than a paper case because the packaging is strong and sturdy, it'll last! The cards are easy to take out of the packaging and put back in, too! There are instructions on the back of the case (And also instruction cards on 'how to play' included). Bounce animals is aimed at aged 7+.
Bounce Animals contains 52 picture cards and 2 rule cards.



There are two ways to play Brainbox bounce. First up we played the memory game. We shuffled the cards and put the cards in a pile and all picked a card. We studied our cards and remembered which each picture contained. The cards contain scenes of animals in there natural habitats which we have to try and memorise. After we'd studied our cards, we then passed our cards along to next player. On the opposite side of each cards are questions. The person we passed our cards along to then asked a question on the card. The questions varied like "How many animals are in the picture?" And "can you see three or four birds flying?". The cards themselves are beautifully illustrated. The pictures are bright and colourful and certainly held my children's attention! Ellie loved the pictures and thought they were very cute indeed.

 Each card also has a 'Did you know?' fact on the bottom of each card, below the picture.



The game moves around each player, taking it in turns to ask and answer the questions on each card. The game moves quite fast depending on how many players and how many questions you chose to ask from each card. My children loved this game a lot! We played many rounds and we each all won a game! Charlie (10 years old) was like "This game is SO cool, I don't think I'd ever get bored of this game"
(I wish my boys would let me take there photos!)

The second game that can be played with these cards is spot the difference. There are two of each card that are very similar with eight slight differences. This is a really good game to play as a family or can be played alone. Ellie (aged 8) quite enjoys sitting at the table and spotting the differences on each card, by herself.


Overall, we really enjoyed playing this game as a family. We've had hours of fun playing the above two games. Priced at just £5.99, this game is more than worth the money. It's great fun, educational and suits all ages above 7 years old. Even my (almost) teenager joined in! This would make a perfect gift, too! Brainbox sell a wide range of childrens games for all ages.
