Great game but not worth the money
Game is quick and easy for all ages. Fun little game to play. However the design is not great and it broke within the first 2 turns of our first game. It’s just cardboard glued together

Cute game
My kids love this game but the cardboard won’t last long. The pieces on the inside where the dice go have already needed to be glued back on.

Fun and Entertaining
I bought the game Monster Match to play with my soon-to-be 5 year old grandson. He loves anything associated with monsters that are age appropriate, and the rolling of dice. This game fun to play, not only for my grandson, but for me, too! The silly-looking monsters added charm to the game. It can help to strengthen eye/hand coordination. I highly recommend the game Monster Match to anyone who wants to be entertained and have fun!

So fun and easy!
My four year old loves this game and even our three year old likes to play and count the monsters. The illustrations are awesome and we love picking our favorite monsters.

Fun Games
Fun game for 4 year old. Helps with learning numbers and body parts. My toddler gets bored pretty quickly which is why I deducted a star, but still says he likes to play the game.

Fun, way to understand
This is the first game my 5 year old has played to the end using the actual rules (mostly). Fun and easy to understand, great way to practice numbers!

Needs improvement
I bought this game because my son is almost 4 and it said that this game was created by a 4 yr old. I think the idea they was good, but was not made that great. There are choices on the dice for different amounts of legs, eyes, and arms… but they don’t have enough cards with all of the different choices available. Make more cards so there are can be more than 1 eyed monster or no armed monster, etc. there are plenty of 4 and 5 legged monsters but not the rest. It’s like they forgot to make sure there are cards for all of the options on the dice. Oh, and the game structure fell apart on the first play.

Monster Fun Times
Monster Match is great fun for all ages! The monster cards are colorful and imaginative. Much fun is had "rolling" the dice through the monster's mouth - dice are kept from rolling away since the tongue in inside a box.This game really tests your skills of observance, counting and being patient (if you have to wait for the right card). I am to buy more of these for my classroom.

Monster Match
We played monster match with my 4year old nephew and it was an absolute hit! We played for about 2 hours and had such a fun time. My nephew now knows how to play the game word for word, it challenges his mind to connect the monster cards with the dice he rolled and he loves counting his points at the end! We love it and have no negative things to say. Definitely recommend for the younger kiddos!

Fun for everyone
My parents, teenage nephews, and I played this game together for the first time. It got pretty rowdy and we’d recommend that everyone take care of their claws before game play. (Some painful collisions of nails and fingers occurred.) The art is delightful and rolling the dice through the monster’s mouth is fun!

Fun Education Game Night Ahead!
This game was a hit with our three year old and she loved all the different monsters. It really helps with her counting and makes it fun as well! Totally worth it if you’re on the fence about a child friendly game. It is also quick and easy as added benefit.

We did the Monster Match...and LOVED it!
The artwork and setup of the game is adorable! What a great way to practice quick analysis and reflexes. Simple enough for your youngest kids to play, but fun for the whole family. My kids are already thinking about adding in their own monsters to give the game a bit of personalized flavor.

These are some crazy looking monsters
This has been a really fun game to play as a family or just the kids playing with their friends. Kids between the ages of 7 and 10 can play it totally unsupervised and have a blast. When Mom and Dad get to play, we love it as well

Quick games
We played the game with only two people and it was extremely quick. There is an aspect of chance because of the dice but the games tend to pass quickly even when cards couldn’t be selected. Overall entertaining but the games tend seems like it can get repetitive due to its simple nature.

Monster Match Review
Overall, I had a really fun time playing this game. It’s perfect for kids and the rules are straightforward. Pros: Card designs are fantastic! Love the drawings on all the cards. The use of packaging as part of the game is a fantastic use of materials. Gameplay is entertaining and each round of games is quick and competitive. Cons: Unclear what the tiebreaker would be if two or more players picked a card at the same time.
