Colour Match Express - A Review

As soon as I saw Colour Match Express by Orchard Toys, I knew Bear would love it. She adores puzzles and that's exactly what this game is. It is a fun color matching game, great for teaching turn-taking and reinforcing color names and matching skills. Each player assembles a color train and rolls the die to collect the bears to ride on that train. Even though my mom gave us this game two months ago, we only opened it yesterday. We played it last night before she went to bed and she woke up this morning asking for it. She has asked to play it on three separate occasions already today.

It's a very simple game, perfect for a 25 month old. The box says ages 3 to 6. I think a better age category would be 2 to 5. The instructions do offer a more challenging way to play, by collecting the bears in the same color order as the cars in the train.

We even found our own extension for the game. Memory. We flipped the bears upside down and looked for matches. So we now have two games in one.


I am delighted to add this to our board game collection.
