Handy for the little ones

The concept of this game is amazing. It's great to be able to play a matching game with the kids without having to go through the deck to make sure all the cards match, shuffle, deal the cards, clean up, etc. This game has little windows and doors that open up let open. and close to show photos below. If you find a match, leave the doors open. There's even a built-in scorer. The big problem I have with this game is that it's very small and the windows are so close together. My family huddles around the board while playing and it's not easy for us to see all the pictures, especially when there are open doors along the way. You may also have trouble opening/closing the doors you want without interfering with nearby open doors. Despite these small design flaws, our kids still enjoy playing this educational game, which is why it still gets 4 stars in my book. If they could just scale it up and make it so that open doors don't conflict with other windows, this game would be perfect! Or could they use sliding doors instead of open and closed doors?
