Product Description
As each Hisss snake slithers its way across the playing area, it introduces color identification and visual logic: Does it make sense to have a snake with two tails and no head' Are those two colors the same or not' Even elementary counting skills come into play during scoring at the end of the game. No reading required. For 2 to 5 players.

5 out of 5 stars Fun game, great gift   October 24, 2008
Gift Card Recipient (Minneapolis, MN)
This game is quick to play and quite fun. Very durable and a great bargain. This is my favorite gift for preschooler birthday parties.

My kids love this game and love to put all of the cards end to end to see how long the snakes can get. I love Gamewright's line... they are so colorful and reasonably priced, always a winner in our family.


5 out of 5 stars seven year old grand-daughter can't play this game enough!   July 30, 2008
avid reader (Michigan)
I ordered this game so that I could play it with my grandchildren when they visited. My seven year old grand-daughter wants to play this game over and over again! She loves it so much I ordered a second so she can have one at her house. The game involves thinking and planning but it doesn't seem like an "educational" game. I highly recommend this game for children from 5 to 8 years old.


4 out of 5 stars family game   May 16, 2008
N. M.
My nephews are in school but my neice is only 3 so I was looking for a game their entire family could play together. They really like this game and it was easy to start. Some rules seemed a little vague but they just play their own way.


5 out of 5 stars Great game for preschoolers   March 27, 2008

I love this game because it doesn't involve any holding of card in a small hand, it can entertain my child for over an hour, it teaches colors (and counting, as you have to count your pieces at the end). I have purchased many card games and board games recently for my almost-4-year-old son and this is in the top 3 for sure. I do agree that I need an extra set of card to make the game last longer. Definitely play on the floor or on a large table.
