- Reviewed in Canada on July 10, 2025Verified PurchaseAll the games I’ve gotten from this company are well played and enjoyed by a 3 and 5 year old. I’d recommend to anyone with young kids, helps teach to play together.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 2, 2025Verified PurchaseEasy fun game to play with my 4 year old
- Reviewed in Canada on June 28, 2021Verified PurchaseThis game was a hit with my 6 year old cousin. She has a knack for making every game ultra competitive (round two - the mermaids who aren’t “hers” die and/or get sent to the seaweed and only one can “win” lol) but it’s good to see her using her imagination to make new rules. Haha Game pieces are the usual high quality from Peacable Kingdom. This is the fourth game I’ve bought from this company and they’ve all been great for the 3-6 year old range. Her fave is still Fish Stix, though!
- Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2016Verified PurchaseGot this game for my niece. We are huge fans of the peaceable Kingdom games. We own "Hoot owl hoot" and have played it with my niece (8)and 3 year old son. The mermaid game is a bit more challenging but more age appropriate for her. Their family has played it multiple times up receiving and and love it! I will definitely keep up the trend of gifting Peaceable Kingdom (also gave fish stix as a preschooler gift!)
- Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2020Verified PurchaseVery simple game, good for developing basic strategy moves for young children. My 5 yo loves playing this game.

They have played with a few friends and it creates a great way to problem solve, work as a team and create a heathy competitive atmosphere where there is a common goal

5.0 out of 5 stars Colourful, sturdy and Simple to use game.the
Verified PurchaseThis game was given to a four year old who loves mermaids. It was colourful and easy to understand and had an added bit of excitement when the mermaids were near to and could be captured by the sea witch. The Board and the counters are made of sturdy cardboard, very good for use by this age group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect first board game
Verified PurchaseI got this game for my 4 year old and she loves it. I really like how it is cooperative rather than competitive. You work together to beat the sea witch. It encourages problem solving and critical thinking skills.
- ElissaReviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for teaching preschoolers basic game-playing strategy
Verified PurchaseI first saw Peaceable Kingdom's cooperative board games as a preschool teacher, and knew that I wanted to get some for my children as they grew. I chose Mermaid Kingdom for my 4 year old who loves mermaids. We have been playing with it for over a year (she's now 5), and she still enjoys it. She has also taught her 2 year old sister to play, and it's simple enough that they can play together without adult input.
Basically, the players work together to advance 3 mermaids along the board using a spinner. They have to get the mermaids to their kingdom before the sea witch (who has her own "slice" on the spinner). There are also "wands" that players can choose use if the sea witch is closing in. In terms of strategy, it's not too challenging-- it is geared for preschoolers, after all. I found it really helpful for teaching my girls how to take turns and move game pieces without the anxiety that winning or losing seems to cause them. As they get older, I imagine that they will start to use strategy and social cues to move their mermaids more intentionally (even now they talk about how the mermaids "feel" about being left behind or how happy they are to be together sharing a space. This would probably be a good opportunity to discuss friendships and feelings with them, but I haven't taken the time yet).
The game is bright and appealing, without extraneous packaging or pieces (ie, it is easy to clean up). We have had it for a year and a half in a home daycare setting and it has been relatively durable. We did lose one part of the spinner, and the company was exremely pleasant to deal with and quickly replaced the spinner.
Incidentally, although this is a cooperative game and is very fun and useful as such, it can also easily be modified into a more traditional competitive type board game for individuals or teams once your child is ready for or interested in practicing good sportsmanship. Or if grandpa just can't wrap his head around cooperative play. ;)
