    Needs a stronger magnet for a good game experience
    We found the existing magnet not strong enough to reliably lift the cow pieces. Adding a small rare-earth magnet gave it the extra pull needed, along with a small adhesive circular furniture pad to avoid scratching the transparent plastic lid did the trick. The small silver magnet looks like a sort of 'force field' or spaceship extension, so not bad looking and the kids enjoyed playing with the improved version.

    Game will last a long time, everything is sturdy plastic, the only cardboard parts(besides the cards) is the crop circles and someone has made them printable on printables.com so as soon as I have yellow I'm going to print them up. Might also just do dark green. I'm going to get sleeves for the cards and put them in a larger box, kids like to play with sticky fingers. Also, the solution to ever game is on the back so I'll put them back to back so the solution can't be seen without removing the card. Other than that this is a really fun game. The first cow is tricky to pick up, you need to press down on the UFO and wiggle it at the same time to pick it up sometimes. If the magnet was any stronger it would pick them up from the sides, I imagine when they were making the game it was a balancing act between height of the board and strength of magnet.

    Really good game for kids, they can play solo and after the easy levels the medium levels get challenging. My daughter is 6 and she loves it, working her way through, and she can play it by herself which is really nice. Can't recommend this game enough.

    Well, it can be played alone or by turns, but you're actually just competing with yourself. The game consists of a plastic "sky" across which your flying saucer moves, making stops to pick up various cows in a specific order --always leaving the mean red bull for last. As you become more skilled at understanding what fences you can clear with your bovines in tow, additional challenges are added. It's a clever little game that forces you to think sequentially and overcome obstacles in a clever, tongue-in-cheek sort of way. The pieces are all plastic and magnetic. If treated kindly, it should survive many alien snatches.

    This game is super fun with varying levels of play, which makes it fun for adults also!! The game is fairly easy to understand and play, however, the rules could be a bit more clear, especially for the genius level. The biggest reason we give this game only 4 stars is because the UFO doesn’t always magnetize the cows and requires reaching under the grid to force the attachment. Overall the game board is sturdy and well crafted but we fear damaging the grid attachment because it is made of thick plastic and fashioned in points, which if not careful could break off, making the grid and game useless.

    I thought the concept of this was great and would perhaps motivate my child to want to try out logic puzzles when she is old enough.
    I know that some have said that there is a problem getting the magnet to pick up the first disc but I find that with a little wiggle, it isn’t much of an issue.

    Bought this for my two grandkids (7 and 10) who are very smart (mathematically inclined) but spend a lot of time on the computer. This game won them over and after 2 weeks they still play it daily working their way thru the more difficult mazes. They blew right thru the beginner ones but after the 30th they’ve slowed down a lot and have to really think it thru to solve the maze. They also started designing their own problems to solve. Your mileage may vary but we’re very happy with this. Thanks to the crazy inventor who came up with aliens stealing cows!

    Again, should’ve looked at reviews before purchase. The spaceship magnet is strong enough to ‘move’ the cow/bull pieces, but not able to pick them up without sliding the spaceship off the screen. I will research to see if I can strengthen this magnet. The game is cute….but doesn’t work as expected.

    This game comes with cards to create multiple puzzles. My kids enjoy working their way up to the harder puzzles.

    We did have a problem where the spaceship magnet was not very magnetic and was not holding the cows while moving around the board. We contacted the manufacturer's customer service and explained the situation. They quickly sent us a new space ship and more cow magnets, which work great. I recommend you contact them if you have any issues with the product for a fast and pleasant resolution.

    Happily surprised with the feeling of accomplishment this game delivers our 8 year old son, his friends & family. Each round is a new puzzle with a card that specifies how to set up the board. Then you use a magnet to collect the cows, avoid the new obstacles in place, etc, etc... you might think it’s easy looking at the board but then you’ll soon find yourself really having to think how to solve the round- it’s really fun for all ages to play! Its one of those games where if somebody says they’re not interested in playing, they’ll be the first one to jump in to vocalize how they could probably figure things out & end up happily playing along. These types of games are really great to keep older minds active & brains exercised. It has various levels & degrees of difficulty. Its well made & very durable The sheerness or transparency of the board itself is easy to see through to manage the magnets & it would make a great gift! It’s just a cool little puzzle game.
