How to Play: There are 2 spaces on the board where actions take place: The Seek & Find Space and the Goldbug Card Space. Player uses the spinner and moves that many spaces on the board. Depending on which space they land will determine the action they need to take. For example: If you land on the Seek & Find Space all players draw a Seek & Find Card. They keep it face down until the player that rolled the space says to GO. Players look for the items on their cards. When a player finds the image from the card on the game board, the player points to the item and rings the bell.

When a player lands on the Goldbug Card Space the player draws a card from the Goldbug Card Deck and follows the instructions on the card. Those actions can include taking another player’s card, losing one of their own cards, move back a space and move forward a space.

My Thoughts: We’re a family of 4 and are always looking for new family-friendly games to play on our family game nights. We played this game last weekend with our kids (ages 13 and 7 1/2). It’s really easy-to-set up and it only took us 5 minutes to read over the instructions and start playing. The concept of the game is simple for children to understand. There’s nothing complicated about it.

We played the game 3 times that night and each time we played it took less than 35-40 minutes. We took our time with it. We really enjoy board games that don’t take HOURS to complete. My 7 1/2 year old son really ENJOYED this game. He had so much fun trying to find the items and to be the first player to ring the bell. My 13 year old enjoyed the game too since it was one that she could play with her brother (at his age level) that wasn’t boring. It’s a great game for families with multiple-aged children playing. It’s fun, exciting and fast-paced.
