Ravensburger 21580 Minecraft Explorers - Cooperative Card Game for 2-4 People Ages 8 and up

My 7-year-old son enjoys this game and likes playing it with mom and dad. It took us more than a few rounds to fully understand how it works, but once we got it, it became enjoyable. He even carried it with him on a recent family trip to play with his aunt and uncles. It’s nice and portable, so it’s perfect to bring on holiday. A round ends in about 30 minutes, so it’s not too long or overly complicated for younger players.

Seems complicated at first, but once you start playing it's a pretty simple game to play with the kids. My son loves Minecraft, and this was a great way to get him off screens while still enjoying Minecraft together. Our family really likes the cooperative game play - my 8 year old particularly loves playing games together, but is not competitive, and so a cooperative game where we are all problem-solving together is perfect. Players take turns one at a time, helping each other to decide on the best course of action to complete the goal (acquiring resources and filling chests). "Ages 8 and up" is accurate, I wouldn't try with kids younger than 8 (unless they have a particularly mature attention span). You can increase the difficulty of the game to whatever you want it to be, so you can keep older kids engaged, too. The box is very sturdy, which I really appreciate. We'll be able to continue to use the box it came in to store the cards. It's a fun game, utilizing problem-solving and long-term thinking (how should we use our limited time to get the most done per turn), but simple enough to explain to a 3rd grader. I would recommend it to any families who have a Minecraft fan at home and want a way to interact off-screen together.

10/10 game! Definitely a must for any Minecraft kid! It definitely has a little bit of a learning curve and took keep the instructions nearby until we all got the hang of it. It’s now the favourite game and gets played at least once a day! I love that it’s a good way for them to get their Minecraft fix without a screen!

My 7 year old loved it! Very simple to understand. Although he was fine with it I felt it could have been alittle deeper far as gameplay mechanics. Overall the material is decent quality for the price and plenty of replay ability

This game is great for kids who like Minecraft. The game maker did a really nice job of translating a video game into a card game. This is also a cooperative game, so a really good one to play for parents or older relatives to play with kids.

I love cooperative games for our family - especially for our competitive 6 year old. The game is pretty simple to learn. It follows the standard card game format: each player's turn has them using their "food energy" cards to make choices that cost a certain amount of "food energy". So each player can collect items and/or fight monsters. The goal is for the team to collect the items needed to fill the chests. The challenge is to keep the monsters in check before we are overrun. There is also the Game Over card that is toward the bottom of the deck that will immediately end the game. Very simple concept but lots of fun. And a lot of conversations (especially with our 6 year old) about what the most pragmatic/helpful/logical choice to make and/or how to set up your teammate to have a fruitful turn as well. Our 6 year old loves Minecraft and he also likes board game so this was a no brainier. We also find ourselves having interesting conversations about his tendency to be a little too self-interested in his pursuit of collecting armor (his favorite part of the video game is also acquiring armor) in lieu of helping the team fight monsters or collect items. It's actually been a great opportunity to explore community cooperation in a low risk setting. Cards look great and are well made and thick. Very fun to look at - look just like you'd expect a Minecraft branded game to look. Definitely worth the cost - we'll get a lot of play time. We can even convince our 16 year old to play. We all find it pretty enjoyable to do cooperative games with our kindergartner. Husband tried playing the game solo. He said it's much more challenging playing solo but still doable. Love that it's an option.

This game is SO MUCH FUN! The instructions were initially a bit complicated for us but we found a great tutorial by The Dicey Review on YouTube which broke it down for us really nicely as we're visual learners. My eight year old son, my husband and I all thoroughly enjoyed this game, and it is very easy to play once you understand it, and the difficulty level is customizable. It also gives you a lot of freedom of choice with how you play your turns. I love that when you play multi-player it is a cooperative effort and that you win or lose as a team in the end. I also love that it can even be played solo (which my husband immediately said after our first play-through that he plans to do at some point because he had so much fun lol). If you're thinking about buying this, do not hesitate! It is a superb value, as you can get endless hours of fun out of this $8 game. It truly is like going on a Minecraft adventure in card game format. It is incredibly fun even for adults and easy enough for kids maybe as young as 6 or 7 to understand and enjoy, and I also highly recommend that video tutorial I mentioned (which I am not affiliated with in any way, but found enormously helpful in easily understanding the game.)

This is a very fun game my kids (ages 12, 10, and 8) love playing with us on family game nights. It also has entertained our adult friends and family. It reminds us of an easier version of Pandemic which we also love to play but is not as kid friendly. Adult learned to play in one round, the kids took a little longer to figure out the game but overall it was a pretty easy learning curve for everyone as we just played slowly through the first time or two while reading the instructions as we played. For the value, this is one of our favorite games for our kids.

Compré el juego para regalar a un niño de 11 años y ¡lo que nos divertimos ambos! Al principio, hasta que coges el ritmo puede parecer algo complejo, pero en cuanto le coges el truco no hay quien te pare, tanto que me lo compraré para mí también, ya que también puede jugar uno solo. El niño me dijo que es el que más se parece al universo Minecraft. Se quedó encantado con el regalo. Engancha y, al tener varios niveles de dificultad, hay diversión para rato. Aún tenemos que pasarnos el último nivel, pero como dos buenos Frikis, lo haremos. Recomendado para niños y mayores, diversión asegurada.

Ok, ammettiamolo: comprare un gioco da tavolo per bambini è come lanciare un dado a 20 facce. Il più delle volte finisce in urla, accuse di barare e almeno un pianto. Quando ho preso Ravensburger Minecraft Explorers, l'ho fatto con la speranza che la magia di Minecraft potesse, forse, placare gli animi. Ebbene, cari genitori e appassionati di cubi: ha funzionato. ANZI, HA FUNZIONATO ALLA GRANDE! Il punto di forza che merita da solo le 5 stelle è l'aspetto collaborativo. I miei figli ci giocano incessantemente (sì, hanno sostituito lo schermo con le carte, ringrazio il cielo!), e soprattutto collaborano per esplorare i biomi e trovare i materiali necessari. Non si rubano i diamanti, non si fanno i dispetti, è un momento di gioia per le mie orecchie. Il gioco è semplice da capire, e la sua dinamica di "scoperta" rende ogni partita stimolante per i più piccoli. Entrare nel mondo di Minecraft, ma seduti al tavolo, è un'ottima transizione. Come in tutte le storie d'amore lunghe, dopo molte, molte partite (e fidatevi, se lo adorano, le farete), il gioco mostra il suo limite. Quando si conoscono perfettamente le carte, i biomi e le strategie ottimali, l'elemento sorpresa si affievolisce. Ma attenzione: questo non è un difetto, è la conseguenza di un successo clamoroso! Quando un gioco viene giocato così tanto da diventare prevedibile, significa che il suo lavoro lo ha fatto benissimo. Ora è solo il momento di aspettare un'espansione, Ravensburger! In sintesi: Se i vostri figli amano Minecraft e, soprattutto, se volete un gioco che unisca la famiglia senza far volare le pedine, compratelo subito. È una vera e propria risorsa per la pace domestica.

The rules take a fair bit of reading to fully understand but once you’ve played it through it’s not hard at all. This is a great little cooperative game which fans of Minecraft will no doubt enjoy. Because it’s cooperative you all win or lose together which is useful if you need a game for when the kids are a bit tired. Crucially it’s not too boring to play as an adult and you don’t need to understand anything about Minecraft to be able to play it. As part of the set up you can choose your level of difficulty and the goals you are working towards which gives it plenty of replayability. The small size means it’s good to take on holiday and the actual table area you need to play it isn’t massive either so it could be played on a train without too much difficulty. Definitely worth it.

Besides being an excellent game, we love that we can play it alone or with more players. It's also relatively easy to learn, while being fun for parents and older kids, too. Highly recommended.
