Product Description

Product Description

Two words: Robot Turtles. This game teaches kids 4+ the ins and outs of programming in a fun, tactile game. Perfect for 2-5 players, this game has levels of increasing difficulty, introducing obstacles and more complex Code Cards. Beginner to Advanced levels will make it a family favorite for many years!

From the Manufacturer

Robot Turtles is a board game for kids inspired by the Logo programming language. It provides crucial brain development and computer programming skills to children as young as 4 years old in the context of family fun. Players dictate the movements of their Robot Turtle tokens on a game board by playing Code Cards: Forward, Left and Right. When a player's Robot Turtle reaches a jewel they win! If they make a mistake, they can use a Bug Card to undo a move. The game has many levels so, as the players advance, they will encounter obstacles like Ice Walls and use more complex Code Cards (like lasers to melt the walls). Play continues until all players collect a jewel, so everyone wins. Beginner to Advanced levels will make it a family favorite for many years. It includes a large Game Board, 40 Tiles, 4 Robot Turtle Tiles, 4 Jewel Tiles, 4 Code Card Decks (45 cards in each deck) and instructions. 2-5 players can play at once and everyone who gets the Robot Jewel wins.

Robot Turtles

A Fun Way to Learn Code!

The most backed board game in Kickstarter history sneakily teaches preschoolers the fundamentals of programming, from coding to functions, while making silly turtle noises! Takes seconds to learn, minutes to play and provides endless learning opportunities. Before you know it, your little one will be writing computer games rather than just playing them!

Set up the game board with the Turtle Tile in the corner and the Jewel Tile in the center.

Use Code Cards (Forward, Left, and Right) to program the Turtle.

Reach the Jewel Tile and unlock the next level of play!

    Loving it!
    My bigger kids are loving this game - especially the 5.5 year old (but non reading) boy! His newly four year old sister is slightly less enthralled, although she does like to make her turtle "dance." One play note: he was ready after the first couple of plays to make 2 or 3 moves at a time: what perplexes him is right-to left order and placing his cards in a neat line. To help, I numbered several 4x6 index cards and have him place his cards on them. Eventually I may make them into a "mat" to keep with the game. (I know you're supposed to leave all the cards out as you play them, but even our large dining room table doesn't really have the space - especially with a grabby 1 year old in the mix. So we clean up after 2 to 4 moves.)
