I received this game the day after ordering it via Amazon prime. It was well packaged and once opened you can see it is in a well made wooden box. The box cover is colourful and gives you an idea of how to play the game. It does say for 2 years old and older. My daughter is 19 months and she learnt within a few minutes how to catch the fish with the wooden poles. There are 12 colourful fish all different shapes and sizes. Each one has a little magnet on them. There are two fishing rods each with a matching magnet at the end of the string. Match the magnets together and you catch the fish it is that simple. I think me and my daughter played for about half an hour, it is great to improve hand eye coordination in little ones. I marked it down one star due to the imperfections of some of the fish. The magnets were already scratched, and the paint had come off, this didn't bother me but if I was giving it as a present then it wouldn't look great. I think the manufacturer just needs to keep an eye out for these little things otherwise it is a good product. One word of warning, due to the way the box is made there is quite a bit of friction between the lid and the wooden box so there may be some splinters down the side, but this is due to the nature of the material and not the way the box has been made. Apart from the points above I do really like this product!! Please note: I received this item for free so I can test the product and leave my honest, fair and COMPLETELY impartial review of them I'm required to review them within a few days of receipt.
