Game Review

This is one of our favorites because it gets silly and there is an element of surprise every time you turn over a card! Our first experience with Buck, Buck, Moose was at a toy show where we actually got to play the game with the game inventor, Mary Jo Reutter. After laughing and slapping cards, Mary Jo autographed a copy of the game  for us.
Here's how to play....

The colored Moose cards are placed in four piles according to colors and then a dealer passes a Buck/Moose card to each player. As the dealer deals he has to say "Buck" or "Moose." When a Moose card is dealt each player has to rush to slap the right colors pile and then they win that card. It is pretty easy enough and teaches colors, speed, decision-making, competition and more! There are also other cards thrown in that could be dealt out including a "Loose a Moose" card, "Win a Moose," and "Double Moose." Once all the Buck/Moose cards have been dealt out, players count their card (yeah for learning to count too!) and the player with the most cards win. There are also instructions for more advanced gameplay. - See more at: http://www.educationalinsights.com/product/buck,+buck,+moose!--8482-+game.do#PowerReview

The object of the game is to be the player with the most cards at the end of the game. When a "Moose" card is dealt, players race to "slap-in" to be the first to slap the correct pile of Moose cards to win the card.
There are 4 colors of Moose cards that get separated into four piles in the center of the playing field. The cards are sorted by color and each pile of cards contains one color of Moose cards. There are some pretty funny Moose cards too! For example, one is playing baseball, one is playing soccer, and another one looks like a chef!
The smaller cards are the "Buck, Buck,  Moose dealer" cards. This deck gets shuffled then put back into the holder face down. Everyone gets a chance to be the dealer. 
The dealer begins by dealing one card at a time face up where everyone can see the card. When the cards are dealt, the dealer must say "Buck" when a Ranger Buck card is dealt and "Moose" when a Moose card is dealt. When a Moose card is dealt, everyone races to be the first to slap the pile of Moose cards with the matching color. The first player to slap the correct color card, wins that card and play resumes.
There are some twists in the dealers hand, the Loose a Moose card, the Win a Moose card, and the Double Moose cards.
Once all the dealer cards have been dealt, the players count their cards. The player with the most cards wins.
There are other variations of the game too and  you can always make up your own! You can also use the Moose cards for a matching game. The possibilities are endless.
This is a fast paced interactive game where you just can't help but shout "Buck, Buck, Moose" along with the dealer! The Inventor rates this for ages 4+ but we've seen 3 year olds play and have just as much fun!
We give Buck, Buck Moose 8 stars out of ten.
