I had this game when I was a child, so when I saw it recently at Target I bought it for my son. The age recommendation starts at 4, but I think this game is great for children even a little younger. My son just turned 3 and he's already a pro! It's great for hand-eye coordination, counting and colors. We make a little game out of not just catching the fish, but catching three green in a row, etc., so we can work on our math at the same time.
With this game the "pond" turns in a circle around the main base, and 21 fish move up and down, opening and closing their mouths, while it turns. It turns fairly quickly, so each player has a pretty limited amount of time in which to sneak in and "hook" a fish. The main page says this plays "Row, row, row your boat", but mine has no music. The box looks exactly the same as the one pictured here - maybe the music was something offered in earlier games.
Either way, this is a terrific game for families to play together. My son absolutely loves it, and I can have fun too!

This was a good game to play with my grandchildren. It helped them learn their colors and how to count not to mention patience in getting a fish on their hook. I also used the game at a baby shower. The adults liked the challenge.

Pros:
* Inexpensive
* Lots of fun
* Even older kids and adults can have a little fun with it

Cons:
* Very cheaply made (minus one star for this)
* Only one speed - may be a little too fast for younger kids

Other:
* Uses 1 C battery
* Introduced my 3 year old to "cheating" as he figured out how to stop it from spinning while he caught a fish :)
* MADE IN CHINA

this is for our 3 year old. trying to fish with the poles promotes eye/hand coordination. she loves games, but board games are sometimes too hard to understand or she doesn't have the patience for them. this is perfect and we can play it together.
