Skillmatics Card Game - Train of Thought, Fun for Family Game Night, Educational Toys, Travel Games for Kids, Teens and Adults, Gifts for Boys and Girls Ages 6, 7, 8, 9 and Up

Really engaging game to get to know each other or get someone talking. Used for school therapy sessions and it was interesting and informative. Kids like it because they were looking at collecting the train pieces so they could win🏆 .

I ordered this card game for our family reunion, thinking about the fact that some family members hadn’t been in touch for about 25 years! I didn’t really think we’d have time to play it, but after a couple of hours of meeting, greeting and eating-I brought up the fact that I had this card game and it could be fun-if anyone was interested. A few of us decided to play..my daughter, her children and myself.Within literally 10-15 minutes into the game, we had an “audience” .. everyone wanted to get in on the game! We had a group of 42 people from infants to 80 years of age. I had no idea this game would be such a HIT! We passed it around to groups of six for the better part of 2 days. It was very easy to learn and I would recommend it as a cool gift for virtually anyone. Also, since the children enjoyed it as well as the adults-I’d say I got my money’s worth and MORE! It’s enabled our family members who hadn’t ever even met, to bond easily. Those of us who were familiar with each other, were hysterically laughing at some of the things we never knew about ourselves. The most fun we’d had .. ever! WE LOVED IT!

Doesn’t capture kids’ attention the same way other games do, but this was a great, easy game to play with elderly family members who have mobility issues. Had some laughs and learned a few things from one another.

I bought this to try and engage my mom, who has dementia, so she didn't just sit and watch TV. (Note - you have to play it with them).In my case, she wouldn't do it, but what it is helpful is for the family taking care of, or visiting. Most people don't visit because it's awkward, no one knows what to say, etc. If you have a few people visiting your loved one, it sparks interesting conversation, is fun, and you learn things about each other. Even if your loved one can't participate, they usually like to hear and see others having a good time around them.This hit all of those points, in our case. It was fun to learn things about friends and family I otherwise wouldn't!

I have a large family with many generations. We often spend many hours together.When these cards were brought out, we didn’t know what to expect. Personally, I felt that some of the family members just wouldn’t get into the spirit of it.I was wrong!!!To my surprise, the people (both adults AND small children under 5) that I thought would avoid participating, ended up giving some of the most unexpected, in-depth, and thoughtful answers!We are really appreciative of how the questions let us open up and reveal things that we didn’t know about the other family members - in a very POSITIVE way!Thank you for such a wonderful “game” that can be played with anyone!This would make an excellent gift for anyone!

I bought this to play with our grandkids. It is easy to do although not a very active game. Our 9 year old grandson wasn't thrilled with it although we convinced him to continue playing with us. His 12 year old sister liked it. I think kid's temperaments and personalities would determine how well they like it. But I think these kinds of games are important in facilitating information and it's a game that a fairly young child (4-5) can play, depending on their maturity. It is designed well so that there is actually a goal in winning and not just an information sharing game.

This is a great game, however it does get old pretty quick because you run into the same questions once you play again. After a round we separated the questions we had already done, but after that you can imagine. 8 yr old and 13 yr old.

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my 6 year old Grandson and we played it on Christmas Eve. I will say that it is easy to play, but the directions make it sound way harder and more confusing than it is. The questions are interesting and most are applicable to all ages. (Although when the grandson got the question "what are 3 secrets about yourself no one here knows?" he turned to his Mom and asked what his secrets were! No big deal. He got to pass on that one and draw another card!) The games go quickly and there are so many cards it will be a long time before we need to repeat them. And most ask questions that have many answers or are specific to "today" or "this week". If you are looking for a game for multiple ages and where everyone feels like a winner, I highly recommend Train of Thought.
