MMRY: Moons & Planets Game | Memory game for future astronauts | Copernicus Toys

I got this to help my 6 yr old learn more about the planets. The cards are pictures of the actual planets, not cartoons, and they are stunning. The bottom edge of each card is color coded so you can reference the accompanying book and make sure you are correctly identifying the planets and moons if your goal is to learn the names. There are so many cards (planets, moons) that it can be too much for a younger child so we started by playing with just the planets and have been adding moons as we can identify more and get better at the game. Also, the cards are big, which is good because you get a better view of the planets, but you do need a bit of space to spread out to play the game. The box, however, is compact and stores perfectly just about anywhere. I'm really happy with this purchase and my son is too!

We gave this to a 12-year-old boy who is obsessed with all things space-related. While we didn't get a chance to play the game with him before we went out of town, we were very impressed by the quality and graphics of the cards--stunning! When the gift recipient opened the package, his whole face lit up--I only wish I'd gotten a photo. We know he'll play it and learn while he does (learning while having fun is the best!). It's also compact enough that he can easily transport it with him on car trips and such--better than all the digital stuff kids today are obsessed with.If you're looking for a unique, well-made and lovely gift for someone into astronomy, this fits the bill!

My hobby is making and displaying small science exhibits. This is the kind of thing I love to find-- games with simple formats (so visitors can catch on quickly) but with a very scientific emphasis, as in-depth as possible. I could hardly believe someone went to all the time and trouble to make this game. The pieces are beautiful, each a photographic portrait of a planet or moon. And not just the usuals, but some moons you don't hear about very often. I am going to make some kind of nifty display area for my cards and use them in my outdoor hands-on science museums this summer. I was going to use them at my puzzle table, but the cards are so gorgeous I decided they need a display of their own. And the price was good, too. Really nice product!!

My 2 year old is obsessed with the solar system and plays with these cards like crazy. They have nice images and are high quality cards. The only issue is that they do not include all of the dwarf planets (only Pluto).

My kids love the game. The pictures are good but was really disappointed that the names of the pictures aren't on the cards themselves. There is a booklet that is included that names each pictures and gives facts but a great was for them to learn about the planets, moons, etc would be to label each tile.

There are no names on the cards which would make this card game MUCH more enjoyable and educational. To play you have to keep looking at the enclosed pamphlet to figure out what you are looking at.

Fabulous! My 5 year old can recognize most of the planets after just a few days of playing. I scanned the images and printed out a "cheat-sheet" because it is easier than flipping through the booklet that is included. The cheat-sheet also serves as a matching game when my son is playing alone. At this point, we have only used the planets but I look forward to learning about the moons with my son.

Great product. All scratched up, which makes it pretty useless for a memory game. One even appears to have a sharpie marked on it to cover the white scratch marks. I guess they'll make nice coasters or frisbees, as they fly to the trashcan.
