MERMAID BEACH CARD GAME FOR KIDS REVIEW & GIVEAWAY



Gamewright was founded in 1994 by four parents whose kids wanted great games. From the start, their mission has remained clear: Create the highest quality family games with outstanding play-value. Guided by themes and experiences that transcend age and salted with a bit of irreverence, our games are designed to foster laughter, learning, friendship and fun.


Mermaid Beach is one of Gamewrights newest games:

Product Features:
~ Ages 6 and up
~ 2 to 5 players
~ Playing time: About 15 minutes
~ Contains 77 playing cards
~ Reinforces counting and matching


Game Description: They say that the ocean is the inspiration for countless works of great art. Such is the case with Mermaid Beach, a game that came about while 8-year-old Emily Ehlers spent an entire year living aboard a sailboat and travelling the world by sea. Emily, along with help from her brothers, Jake and Drew, came up this wildly imaginative card game that has all elements of a great Gamewright game: fantastic art, whimsical characters, and a set of rules that are easy to learn, yet engaging enough to lure you back for more. No word whether Emily visited a real Mermaid Beach during her trip, but if so, we hopes she returns there someday to teach the mermaids her game!


How to play: Soak up the fun down at Mermaid Beach! Swim along with Swirly Shirley, Betsy Bubbles, Rip Rider, and a colorful cast of undersea characters as you try to collect the most seashell cards. Watch out for sneaky waves and icky seaweed along the way. Most of all
- don’t get caught holding the sea monster at the end of the game!
My Review: The age description of this game is 6+ however, my 4 year old was able to play too! My family played this game together and my 6 and 4 year old didn't want to stop the first time we played, we played about 7 times in a row and wanted to keep playing! I think this game is great because it teaches thinking skills, match (addition when adding up the Shell Deck cards) and matching. The game is made of great quality, the cards are not flimsy but very durable. My children especially enjoy the brightly colored whimsical cards, what a fun game to play as a family!


Buy It: Mermaid Beach can be purchased for $10.99 directly from Gamewright. Gamewright offers a large amount of fun and learning games for ages 3 and up. From Can You See What I See? to In A Pickle.
