This is another great little game from ThinkFun, called the Hoppers game. It doesn’t have the distinctive bag that the others we have discussed do, but fortunately the playing board opens up and the cards and playing pieces get stored in that instead. The fact it can all be stored in the base of the playing area, along with the fact that the frogs sit on pegs so they don’t slide around, makes this a fantastic toy for children to take when travelling around.
The concept behind the game is simple (as with all ThinkFun products), you ‘leap frog’ one frog over another, then remove the frog that was jumped over, the idea is to leave only the red frog on the board at the end. You get 40 different scenarios to play out, ranging in difficulty from starter puzzles to fiendishly difficult expert puzzles that will frustrate you for days (although there is the solution on the back if you get hopping mad and give up!).
It is well made, durable and looks fantastic, the reviews for it online are all positive and at the time of writing it costs less than 10 dollars, so this is a fantastic toy for any young child to enjoy that they will get years of enjoyment out of.

Here is what some of the other people who have bought this are saying:
"It is the greatest travel game. My son got this when he was 3 years old, and 4 years later it is still his first choice when we ask him to pick some toys for a trip……..and he has a GameBoy!! It is very durable, constructed very well and has seen no wear in 4 years of regular use. This is one of the toys that’ll, literally, last you a life-time."
"At first Hoppers appears to be a very easy game but that is its charm. The game gets progressively more difficult and very challenging. Most of all this game is out right FUN! I simply couldn’t put it down."
"My friend got Hoppers as a birthday present and we all played it. It was really fun and it got more challenging as we went on."
