Give it to the next player to build that card's castle. Then, use the bird launcher to shoot it down with the birds indicated on the Mission card.

Customer Reviews

I believe the idea of this toy is truly enjoyable, and my children unquestionably get pleasure from it even though you need to be ready to search around for scattered pieces if you do not have a restricted region for shooting the birds. I obtain shooting toward a rug or on a table with a tablecloth keeps them from ricocheting all more than the space.
1st, the really good stuff:
PROS: The rules are effortless, straightforward to explain to younger children, and you do not have to know how to read to figure issues out, so that is also wonderful for small ones.
The birds, pigs, catapult, and the structure pieces all appear quite sturdy. Plus my five year old likes to just play with the game pieces as action figures. We only got this game for the reason that he wanted some plastic Angry Birds to play with and this was the only factor we identified that fit the bill.
The game builds coordination and (hopefully) a little patience in the most effective case scenario. But that leads me to the cons...
CONS: This is additional a downfall for people like me who can't stand tedious projects :) but I get a little frustrated attempting to construct the structures shown on the level cards typically. They are supposed to be grouped according to difficulty, but some of the Level 1( ie: allegedly a lot easier) structures are just as difficult as the Level 2 and 3 ones. There are some I think could be impossible to create at all based on the law of gravity, although my husband disagrees and says with sufficient balance they are all attainable.
I am sort of a fumble-prone mom and I spent even more time knocking down half-built structures with my clumsy hands than with birds at very first. If you have a child who does not have significantly tolerance for slow, meticulous projects then he/she could possibly be annoyed trying to build the structures.
As far as the actual shooting the birds component of the game, that takes some acquiring employed to and is essentially a lot harder than on the Iphone app. in my opinion. That said, it is doable. My five year old and eight year old are fans of the game and have already played with it a lot. One particular tip: make sure you preserve up with all the pieces considering that losing even 1 or two of the logs or blocks will seriously hamper your capability to full the structures on the cards.

My 4 year old is obsessed with Angry Birds. I did not like the idea of him spending so significantly time playing a video game, so this was the perfect option. And it is something we can do together as a household. So much enjoyable!
