Absolutely LOVE itFeb 09, 2010 I am from Germany, and I grew up with so many of the Ravensburger and Haba games and just love them (plus of course they bring back a ton of memories!). I have lived in the States for 11 years and do have my my own children now (a 2 and a 4-year-old daughter), I am ordering games left and right, mostly on Amazon.de. I got this game on Amazon.de as well, and it is one of my kids absolute favorites.
They play it 4+ times in a row, even my 2-year-old (who will be 2 and a half this month). She loves playing it with us.
I LOVE this game, great quality, great concept, not just one player looses, it's either all players loosing together against the raven, or all players winning.
And sometimes the kids games can get a little old if you you are an adult, but this one even my husband can play with the kids without getting bored. :)
The kids excitement is just too much fun too watch. They squeal with excitement when they are about to beat the raven, and they squeal with excitement and worry when the raven gets one puzzle piece after the other ....
Great toy for the whole family! (without commercialization, too!)Feb 01, 2010 We are loving this game. We have a 5 year old and a 3 year old and they play cooperatively with this. Our 3 year old easily grasped the rules and story of the game. We all love that everyone wins together or loses together. The pieces are charming, being made of natural materials (wood for the fruits and reed for the baskets). The kids take care of their game now and I have a feeling that their kids will be playing it someday, too.
Excellent starter gameJan 28, 2010 Our grandson (age 4) was too competitive to play any other games without throwing a temper tantrum, but when we introduced The Orchard, where the competition is against an abstraction--the Raven--and the players work together, he settled in and has become quite a little game-player. Thank you for this game. A happy grandmother

Non Toxic Smart GameSep 19, 2009 I love this game for several reasons, the first being its cooperative spirit. Players team up against the Raven, trying to get fruit from the orchard into baskets before the Raven gets it.
My four year old loves to make the "caw, caw" sound for the Raven and put the wooden fruit into the basket. I love the novelty of it being a German game and the fact that it has no plastic or toxic substances to worry about. The Orchard is good for math skills, color recognition and camaraderie. Plus it's aesthetically pleasing and a little cheeky. A Raven and fruit, what's not to love? Orchard would make a great game for pre-school as well as at home.
