Review: Perfect First Board Game for Young Kids - Fun, Simple and Full of Laughter! - This is a fun family game that's very simple to play. NO READING required! My 4yr old son enjoys it a lot. It's his first real board game, and he loves spinning the spinner, counting his moves, singing, acting out, and guessing the tasks on the "present" cards. It's really fun-filled and brings lots of laughter! Each round lasts about 10-15 minutes, and he wants to play at least four times in a row! I've noticed that it helps kids learn to wait patiently for their turn and stay focused on one activity. My almost 3yr old tries to join in with a little help, though he’s not as interested as my older child. The cupcake pieces are adorable, though the character pawn keeps falling over, a slightly stronger or larger plastic clip would have helped. The board is good quality, but the folding area could tear if not handled carefully (a bit of tape might help it last longer). Overall, kids around 5yrs will love this game!
Review: Pete the Cat Game - Fun, practical, age appropriate, easy to understand, follow and set up. It came with all the necessary pieces to play. Very colorful design. It is a perfect companion to the book. It's a great value and a wonderful addition to my collection.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the basic game and the premium game? (There are two options for purchase)**
A: There is only one version of the game. It looks like a 3rd Party Seller has created this "Premium" listing (with $19.99 shipping?!?) We will ask Amazon to remove it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

**Q: Can you play this with a group of children, like 12?**
A: Yes, it is all cooperative, not really a need for more than one character piece, just take turns spinning.  12 is probably too many.  You can almost finish the game in 12 turns.

**Q: How do you put the spinner together? Ours came in 2 pieces - the cardboard and the plastic spinner piece.**
A: Hello, you should have received three pieces: the cardboard, the plastic spinning arrow, and a plastic base that the cardboard is placed on before attaching the plastic arrow. Is this what was in your package? If not, please review https://www.universitygames.com/faq and contact us so we can send you what you need. Thank you.

**Q: Is there any way to purchase more birthday cards? We've misplaced ours.**
A: No there isn’t
