5 out of 5 stars Cool gem of a simple card game for kids!   December 30, 2007

When I bought this card game for a mere $6, I didn't think I'd get much for the money, but I was wrong. This is a great card game for children aged 6-10ish and it comes in a cool sturdy lunch box so the cards and pieces don't get lost. My kids are 7 and 9 and they loved it. You have to build three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the cards that you are dealt. When you need a new card, you discard or use one, then pick up a new, constantly keeping two cards in your possession. Watch out for the fly! Someone can put down a fly card and move the little plastic fly to your sandwich preventing you from finishing it. However, you can continue to "build" it on the side and put it all together when someone moves the fly to another person's sandwich. There's also an ant card that can be used to "steal" part of someone's sandwich. We laughed so hard playing this as a family and switching the fly to each other's sandwich. Our only complaint is that for a group of four people, there weren't enough cards in the deck towards the end of the game to keep the pick up pile plentiful to keep playing. We constantly had to mix up the discarded pile and reuse those same cards. We did figure out that you once everyone has built one sandwich, you can take those cards and put them in the "take" pile to be reused. You could also just build two sandwiches for the game instead of three. Great little game for kids and parents!!!

Love this game. We play it at least 3 times a week and we have had the game for 3 weeks now. It is very easy for the kids to play. No reading involved. Does not take long to finish a whole game, 5 minutes or so. And I enjoy the game as well as the kids.

We received the Peanut Butter & Jelly Card Gamefor Christmas this year and have played it many many times. Our kids are 4 & 5 and love it and we like it as well. They can play it themselves without any help or supervision but particularly enjoy beating Mom & Dad. A game takes about 5 or 6 minutes, the rules are very easy to follow and there is a tiny bit of strategy that the kids pick up and can use.

I bought this at a specialty toy store for my daughter over a year ago.
We LOVE this game. We like to face off boys against girls and team up. My daughter and I play our own hand but only steal from the boys sandwichs or put flies on the boys, and they in turn do the same to us.Sometimes we team up parents against kids. It gets pretty dirty/competitive, but all in fun. We have a great time! I really am glad for this game making it's way into our family game night.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Family Game!   January 10, 2009

Purchased this as a xmas gift for my 4 yr old ($5 at Target) and it has quickly become the whole family's favorite game! It is easy to learn although the little ones may need some help with strategy. We played with a 4 and 6 yr old, parents and grandparents. We were all hysterical by the end (the fly takes on a life of it's own!) The game can be a bit long if alot of people are playing as cards get traded back and forth but it moves quickly. I would highly recommend this game, especially for mixed age groups.
