Review on Pancake Pile-Up: Sequence Relay Board Game For Kids Ages 4+ By Educational Insights - Fun Family Game For 2-4 Players by Veronica Phillips

I was excited to get this for my 4 yr old based on the reviews. It is a cute idea, but I had 2 problems with the game. First, the pancakes are puffy, and that makes them almost impossible to stack 5 high, as the game requires. I mean, even an adult trying very carefully to stack the fifth pancake on the pile *by hand* can't do it. I don't know if I got a defective set, or if the fact that I live at slight altitude (Denver area) made them puff up more. But it is a problem. Second, after playing with it a while (or trying at least), I noticed a warning, in small print, on the bottom back of the booklet, to wash all plastic parts before use. That warning, plus the fact that they are made in China kind of creeped me out. Plus, while washing them, I noticed that they are slightly squishy, which means that if air can get in, water can also get in, and then get moldy? I'm probably overthinking this part of it, but the point is, it seemed pretty low quality and possibly toxic. Still, I must admit my 4 year old kind of liked it. So 2 points for that.
