Six Year Old Obsessed

This is a great puzzle game! I opened it today. The forest theme is perfect for my daughter and today the logic puzzles literally kept her entertained for hours. I used to not find her particularly prone to puzzles, but she doesn't want to do anything else either. Today she mastered the "Starter" and "Junior" puzzles, but I've tried the hardest puzzles in the booklet and they're HARD - there's definitely room for improvement. I like that she can play alone and that it's not competitive. It seems that this would be a good preliminary chess game. (Some pieces move in a specific way, and to win you need to coordinate the movement of multiple pieces.) The pieces are solid and pretty. The game comes in a compact, sturdy plastic case. It is billed as a travel game. I wouldn't take it to the doctor or on a car ride (pieces not needed for a particular puzzle just fall apart), but I would take it to a restaurant, hotel, camping, etc. I will definitely be adding this to my list of things to buy for our friends as birthday or Christmas gifts.
