Why it works

It takes a minute to explain, and a six-year-old can beat their parents without anyone going easy on them. Any two cards always share exactly one symbol, and you have to call it out before everyone else. It fits in a rucksack, so it ends up travelling to the village, the beach and the grandparents’ house.

Our verdict

The classmate's birthday gift that almost never misses, as long as they do not already have it: ask first. If they do, look at Taco Gato Cabra Queso Pizza, which costs about the same.

  • they have quick reflexes
  • there are siblings of different ages
  • you want something you can take on trips

Bear in mind
