We love it!

Such a fun and easy game to play! Very cute concept but not a ton to learn. Great for pulling out at a restaurant.

Everyone loves this game

My 5 year old daughter and my 65 year old stepdad both love this game. It’s relaxed yet cutthroat. Quick to learn and play.

Great for the whole family!

My family loves to play this! Simple and fun, with enough depth to keep my wife and I entertained. The kids (3, 4, 6) all love playing and play at different strategy levels (with the 3 yo always stealing from her mom :) ).Teaches probabilities in a fun way too. Highly recommend!!P.S. grandparents and everyone else we've invited to play loved it too!

So much fun!

I gifted Mantis to my Grand Daughter and she was thrilled having played it with her cousins. When I played it with her and her siblings, I found out why she wanted it! It is a cleverly designed game, different from any other I've played - and it's so much fun! The ages I was playing with were a 6 year old, 8 , 11, and 68 year old and we all loved it! Thank you for developing well thought out, fun, and funny games. We own quite a few now!😃

Easy to learn.

This is a nice easy game. Didn't take much time at all to figure it out and play multiple rounds.

So much fun!

This game is incredibly easy to play but gets weirdly competitive with my family. It was a lot of fun and the cards are so cute!

Mighty Mantis

Wasn't sure about this at first. But my kids (17 & 14) ask to play it all the time. Quick to learn and fun to play!

Fun Game, Bad for Color Blindness

Our family loves this game, we usually play the deck with four players. However, it is not color blind friendly and it is very hard for my dad to play this game with us unfortunately. I wish they would come out with another deck with friendlier colors, or bigger icons so that he can play easier.

Easy to learn, but very deep game

My family loved it. My extended family too! I explained this game in 2min to all of them, and we had a great time. Some of them don't even play boardgames and really enjoyed it... will buy more as gifts :)
