 Great game for Thomas fans 3 and olderNov 22, 2008
By Ben Pearson
I first played this game with my son when he was 2.5 years old and I thought it was the dumbest game out there. With that said, please ignore the reviews that state this is not a great game because when we played the game right after he turned 3 we both discovered what an amazing game it really was. My son LOVES the game and it has a lot of educational value. I personally get a little bored after playing it several times a day, but there aren't many 3 year old activities that don't get a little boring after multiple times. The fact that he wants to play the game multiple times in one day and the fact that he will play the game for over an hour says it all. The game is great at working with counting since they have to count the train stops as they take their turns. When they land on stars they have to engage in an activity that's great for preschoolers' imagination and social skills. For instance, at one of the stops, the player draws a card with a picture on it and the player has to tell a story. This stop has been awesome for developing my childs imagination play. He was so shy about telling the stories at first and now he's quite the actor. Another stop has them act out an animal for others to guess. He has a blast both guessing and acting out the animals. Another stop instructs them to sing a song. Again, a really good activity for a preschooler to have to do in front of others. The magic stop has them count the number of rabbits in a hat and then have the other players guess. The player can say "lower" or "higher" or use his/her fingers to give clues. The only stop that's lame is the icecream stop. But, oddly, this is one of my son's favorites so it's just lame for adults. The player has to ask everyone their favorite icecream flavor and then they draw cards to see if they remember which card to give each player(chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla). This is one of those games where you have to be willing to be the interactive parent and have fun, even if it doesn't seem fun to you. We changed up the rules at first and had everyone participate when a player landed on a star stop so that my son could see how fun it was to tell a story or have people guess the number of rabbits. If you want an engaging, interactive, educational game AND your child loves Thomas the Train, this is a great game.

4 Year Old Grandson LOVES this game.Jan 12, 2007
By Joanne Davis
My grandson got this game for Christmas and enjoys it tremendously! I only gave it 4 stars because the "trips around the board" could be less.
Not only has it kept his interest, but it is a great game for "family" time....even his 18 month old sister gets in on the fun.

 Not impressedFeb 20, 2008
By Tami
This game looks attractive. It is colorful and fairly durable. However, game play is very slow and boring. The activities at the station stops are lame and not engaging. Landing on the station stop stars to win the game can literally take two hours. No child has that kind of attention span. I would not recommend this game to anyone. I would not buy it again. Pick another game!
 A Day Out With Thomas GameMar 03, 2011
By Stefanie Myers
This game is a little better for older children who are able to give better descriptions. And the instructions are a little unclear. Over all my son is very happy with the game.
Big DisappointmentDec 27, 2010
By Elizabeth
Game is very slow for two players. It takes lots of moves to land on the "special activity" squares...and then it's complicated by not doing the special activity unless it's one of your "special ticket" items. The only thing "Thomas" about it is that the 4 playing pieces are Thomas characters. My 4-year-old grandson who LOVES all things Thomas loses interest quickly.
