I saw this game when I was looking for games that my 4 and 6 year old could play together without too many hard instructions and really long turn taking. They colorfulf box caught my kids attention. We bought the game for under $10 at our local department store - seems like it is available just about anywhere. We brought it home and got it out - immediately the cherries were everywhere becuase they do not sit securely on the tree. They roll off the table very easily and are hard for little fingers to pick up. Then we played the game. You spin the spinner and decide if you get to collect cherries or put them back. When all of the cherries are off the tree, the person with the most wins - however, kids that are 3-5 may not be able to count high enough to know how many cherries they collected and kids erupt into a fight about who has the most. I also noticed that it did not keep my kids' attention very long. They played a few rounds and then were bored - there is nothing terribly exciting about spinning a spinner and then taking a cherry or two off a board - nothing really rewarding. Good game, easy to play - not the most exciting family entertainment piece.
