My grandchildren had a lot of fun playing this. They are 6-1/2 and 3-1/2. The younger one needed some help, but she still had fun looking at the squares for a river, road or rail. I would recommend this game.

Wonderful cooperative game

I bought this game as a gift for a friend's five-year-old because it was one of my favorite games as a child. The box is identical to my decades-old copy, but the game inside is delightfully fresh. The game pieces are pleasing-feeling cardboard tiles about 2" square. Each tile is illustrated with a river, a road, railroad tracks, or a combination of these. Many pieces have charming details on them - houses, animals, cities, islands, people. I remember as a child just spending a lot of time looking at all the pictures on the tiles and imagining traveling along the road, train, or river and seeing these things pass by. The object of the game is to connect the tiles so that roads line up with roads, rivers with rivers, rails with rails. Many many arrangements are possible. This can be played competitively, with each player attempting to run out of tiles first, or cooperatively, with players working together to arrange the tiles. My sister and I liked to challenge ourselves to get all the tiles into one design. Although perhaps not as well-known as some of the other classic games out there, this game is an excellent addition to any collection. It is simple enough for very young children (no reading is required) but interesting for adults, and has such visual appeal. My memories of playing Rivers, Roads and Rails as a child are very peaceful. I still play it from time to time, like a mental comfort food.

This game is so much fun. Everyone at school just loves it. The cards are kind of slick. We have to play it on our felt, but that's okay.

Game was attractively packaged and will be the perfect birthday present for my seven-year-old son, who loves both games and building toys. The game is everything I expected it would be, and the price was reasonable.

I purchased this game for my grandsons. I love to give them toys that are not only entertaining, but that they learn from as well. This met the criteria and we had a good time playing it, learning how these things interconnect, and it was easy to play.
