I Saw It First! Ocean: A Family Spotting Game (Magma for Laurence King)

Need 5 minutes peace from the womb gremlins? That is perfect! Heck it kept the man child entertained for just as long as the gremlins.

There are very few games on the market which can appeal to such a wide age range but this did so perfectly. Our children aged 3-16 all joined in. Our 3 year old found quite a few pictures quicker than her older siblings.The board and the tokens are really well made, the pictures are clearly printed on thick card. The illustrations on the tokens are always identical to the board which is great for consistency, helping smaller children and those with ALN.As others have said the box to keep the tokens in is annoying. We’re using a sandwich bag to store them instead so it’s easily worked around and wouldn’t put me off recommending the game to others.Even if some tokens get lost, you have loads more so can always play which is great.The board is made up of thick jigsaw pieces and double sided. This means it can be reconfigured in lots of ways to keep things challenging.We loved it so much I’ve just ordered the jungle version. Highly recommended.

Lovely game with beautiful pictures. You put the picture tokens in a box and pull one out and everyone has to find it on the board.The illustrations are lovely but the tokens are quite small. And the box to put the cards in is pathetic. A bag would be better. We ended up chucking it away. Overall good and I’d recommend but a few improvements could be made.

Absolutely brilliant game.My 4yo is slightly obsessed with sea creatures and this has fanned the flames whilst also being a game we can play together. It’s easy to understand (pick a creature - find a creature) and the board has two versions to play printed on both sides so if you have a child like mine who has memorised the board within a week you can flip it over and give yourself a chance to win!Really brilliant and we will be purchasing the jungle version too.

We already have the Jungle edition, so was happy to see a new version. Great game for all ages, and we are both learning new names of things from the ocean.
